The Real Gardens of Lyonville event is a showcase of our local cool climate gardens. Small and large, wild and manicured, you will see a selection of gardens to pique your interest.

Registrations commence from 9.30am at the Lyonville Hall where you will be given a leaflet with a map and description of the gardens.

There are two ticket categories: Garden Friend and Garden Lover. Garden Friend ($25) gives access to all open gardens except Babbington Park (Annie Smithers' garden). Garden Lover ($50) tickets allow access to Babbington Park plus all other open gardens but tickets are limited to 24 so book early. You are free to explore the gardens in any order and will be given a map once you register at the Lyonville Hall between 9.30 - 10am.

Please dress for the weather and wear boots or sturdy shoes. We love dogs but not when visiting these gardens please. All children must be under adult supervision.

Morning tea ($8 for coffee and cake) and lunches ($15 for picnic-style lunch, vegetarian or non-vegetarian) can be pre-ordered and will be served at the hall. When you book catering, please let us know your dietary requirements by selecting the appropriate lunch package when you book.
