Thinking about doing up your tired old garden? Stuck for inspiration? Or perhaps you just love looking at other people's stunning gardens. The
Rotary Garden DesignFest is a very special event for garden lovers as well as being a worthwhile cause to raise money for charity.
This isn't just the normal run-of-the mill open gardens days that you know so well.
At each of the homes the garden designer/landscape artist, rather than the garden owner, will be present to chat to you. You can ask them questions about their creation and their various plantings as well as getting some inspiration for your own backyards.
There will be 25 gardens you can visit depending on your time and inclination, so there is plenty of inspiration on hand. The gardens are all over Melbourne, from Brunswick to Toorak to the bayside suburbs.
There are many ways you can organise your day. Visit some of your local gardens or travel further afield. Perhaps make a day of it.
Below is a list of the gardens and the name of the designer who created it. Where there are food or drink options available or items for sale this information has been put in brackets to make the list even more useful.
