Wednesday 25th March
Pack a picnic and join us for a relaxing, social day surrounded by nature🌸🌿
Bring a friend, make new friends!

Stroll through diverse landscapes, from coastal mangroves to mountain ranges, exploring over 20 unique garden zones. Discover native and Indigenous flora through interpretive signs, uncover stories of endangered species and local history, and enjoy the gentle buzz of bees, butterflies and native wildlife.
Breathe deeply, smell the flowers, wander at your own pace and share good conversation under the trees. 🌸🌿

We’ll begin at the Friends Centre Visitor Information Hub, where you can collect fact sheets, brochures and a garden map, explore the changing displays and enjoy some hands-on fun for all ages. There’s also a lovely selection of local honeys, jams, spices and unique giftware available.
Enjoy a cuppa, then wander at your own pace on a self-guided stroll, or join one of the friendly volunteer guides for a fascinating 45–60 minute walk (gold coin donation appreciated).
Discover captivating plant stories, learn which regional species are endangered in the wild, explore the bushfood forest and gum tree corridor, and keep an eye out for native wildlife, birds, bees and butterflies. You might even step back in time and uncover the local history of this beautiful site.
Relaxed. Social. Inspiring. 🌸🌿
