Through the Garden Gates

The Friends have held these very popular self-drive garden tours, visiting private gardens in the areas:

2012 - the Bellarine
2013 - the Surf Coast
2014 - Geelong
2015 - the Bellarine
2016 - Golden Plains
2017 - the Bellarine
2018 - the Bellarine
2019 - the Surf Coast

In 2019, the tour revisited the Surf Coast region and visited four stunning gardens in the Freshwater Creek, Moriac and Bellbrae areas – offering an incredible variety of design and location.

Afternoon Tea was included in the ticket price - and this was again a delicious event, held at Bellbrae. At Bellbrae, there was a Plant Stall (plants from gardens of Growers and Friends).
