Open Gardens SA
Open Gardens SA was incorporated as an Association in December 2014 to continue the Open Garden Scheme in South Australia after Open Garden Australia announced that it would cease to operate the national scheme after June 2015. The enthusiastic and experienced team that made up the local committee set up Open Gardens SA so that the people of South Australia could continue to enjoy sharing the treasures of our gardens and to bring garden lovers together.
In the first 12 months, more than 50 private gardens opened as part of the new Open Gardens SA program, welcoming more than 20,000 visitors with approximately $80,000 going back to garden owners and their chosen charities. Additionally, more than $75,000 was raised by charities operating plant stalls, morning teas and other supporting activities as part of the events.
Entry Costs:
General entry to each garden is $8 and $6 for OGSA Members and for those with a Commonwealth Government Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card (not Seniors Cards). Current Season Garden Owners and TAFE Horticultural Tertiary students are also entitled to the $6 concessional entry. Children Under 18 are FREE. These cards must be shown at the gate.
