Take in the fresh air and open spaces, from vibrant blooms in spring and summer, to the rich colours of autumn and striking bark textures and winter flowers in the cooler months.

Be inspired by plantings as you stroll through the gardens, with friendly and informative volunteer guides.

Refunds for walking tours will be issued for cancellations made up to 24 hours before the scheduled date.
