Griffith Open Gardens Celebrates 31 Years

Garden enthusiasts from all over the country visit Griffith for the simple pleasure of touring around six open gardens during spring.

This much-loved annual tradition will take place this weekend, October 14 and 15 from 10 am to 4 pm both days.

The open gardens are a delightful opportunity to experience the rich horticultural tapestry of Griffith’s private gardens.

Each garden showcases unique landscapes, vibrant flora and design inspirations that will leave visitors in awe.

A fee of $8 per person is required for each garden, which can be pre-paid at the Griffith Tourism Hub with Eftpos or with cash at each gate. Children under 16 years of age may enter free.

Roy Spagnolo & Associates Garden Bus Tours will run each day, taking garden lovers to visit three privately owned gardens and enjoy a delightful light lunch.

Bookings for the tours are essential and the cost is $60 per adult and $30 per child.

Griffith City Council Events Coordinator, Izabella Apolloni said they were excited to announce two new garden owners to the mix - Ron and Lyn Anson and Leanne and Grant McMillan.

“Also opening up their beautiful gardens again are Trish and Louis Sartor, Marj and Mick Careri, Tori Horder and Lawrence Salvestrin, and Emeri De Bortoli,” Ms Apolloni said.

Don't miss your chance to be a part of this incredible celebration of nature and gardening in Griffith.
