Special feature: Live Native Verge Transformation! This year we are thrilled to feature a LIVE native verge transformation led by Chris Ferreira from the Forever Project. Hosted at a suburban block in South Bunbury, this demonstration will show you step-by-step how to turn your verge into a thriving, waterwise, native patch. Capacity for the demonstration is limited and tickets are required.

Other important event information:

Parking and getting around: To help keep streets clear and safe, please park in suggested parking areas on your event map and walk to nearby gardens wherever possible. To reduce traffic and lower our impact, we strongly encourage carpooling or cycling between gardens.
What to bring: We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, hat, sun protection and sturdy walking shoes.
Garden etiquette: Please be respectful to gardeners and treat their private spaces with care. Stick to designated paths, leave pets at home, and ensure you are wearing clean foot wear before entering each garden to help prevent the spread of soil-borne diseases.
Accessibility: We strive to make Open Nature Gardens as inclusive as possible. However, due to uneven terrain or steps, some private gardens present access difficulties for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Please check individual garden descriptions for accessibility details and get in touch if you'd like some more information.
Photography: a photographer will be taking photos throughout the day for promotional purposes. If you prefer not to be photographed, please inform an event organiser or photographer on site.
