The Gardens in Farrell Flat, Burra and Mt Bryan

Gardeners who love to share and chat with visitors.
Our gardens are very diverse, from traditional to country, succulent and vegetable/pollinators. All gardens are made with love and passion by avid garden owners who work tirelessly in our demanding evironment. Winters are very cold, frosts can go down to minus 12, it snows occasionally. Summers are long and harsh with temperatures in the 40's, relief comes with summer storms. The last few years the area has been in drought, but our gardeners keep going to produce some truly beautiful gardens for you to enjoy.


We'll also be running some sustainability workshops with Recreate. While these are aimed at kids, adults are welcome to join in, go to the website homepage for details. One will be botanical printing, the other will be making an insect hotel to take home. They'll also have recycled tthings for sale and beneficial insect attracting plant kits.

We'll also have indigenous weaving and make a pot workshops, check the website for more info.

A special author in the garden

This beautiful new book from SA's Mediterranean Garden Society will be introduced by authour/collaborator Trevor Nottle. Trevor is well known for his championing the cause for plants suited to our climate, especially those less water hungry.

Trevor will give a workshop/talk on gardening for our climate which will be supported by the sale of suitable plants.

A must listen with this generous and knowlegeable man.

Tori Arbon Magic Little Meals

Open gardens has something fun and flavoursome for kids this year. Tori is well known as a children's food warrior, campaigning for cooking fresh garden produce and making meals from one's own garden. Tori will work with local foodie and artist Graeme Endean to show kids just what can be done with humle vegies. They'll get to taste the end result and see what a vegie plot can do for them. You don't need a huge amout of space, just enthusiasm.

Kaye Kessing - Childrren's environmental educator.

One of environmental warrior Kaye Kessing's beautiful posters. The origional Bilby campaigner who marched down Rundle Mall, dressed as a Bilby, until Haighs chocolatiers gave in. Now you know how we got Easter Bilbys to replace the bunnies.
Creators of art will be in the gardens selling some of their wares, and to chat to you. Our website will show who'll be there to tempt you.

The Italian Gardener

Who doesn't love Italian food? Tim will be on hand with his generous packets of Franchi seed imported from Italy. Many of his vegies are not grown commercially here, chat to him and see what's on offer. We always buy Franchi seeds, great germination and fabulous selection.

Tim is also an award winning designer, eager for people to grow vegies in small spaces. He won his award for the vertical garden at cafe Argo in Norwood. With blocks getting smaller and many people living in apartments, this is the way to go.

Tim hopes to give avertical gardening workshop, check on the website later for details.
