Open Gardens South Australia has generated over one million dollars for charity in just six and a half years. In that time, hundreds of garden owners have allowed 120,000 visitors to look around their beautiful back yards, donating proceeds to scores of local charities.
What a roller-coaster season we've had! We hope you've enjoyed visiting gardens in our first full season with Covid. Due to conflicting advice, we were unable to open some gardens at the start of the season, but got underway in October.
Do you have a community garden project that needs funding, or want to establish a community garden but don’t have funds? Open Gardens SA (OGSA) would like to hear your plans and ideas!
What a terrible few days we have had here in South Australia due to the bush fires, along with the rest of the nation. Our heartfelt praise and thanks go out to the CFS, SES and SAPOL who worked in horrendous conditions to save life, homes and battle the fires.
The Season Launch was held at the stunning home and garden of Margaret and Brian Baker at Heathfield on Sunday 18th August. The large group of Members, Media and Garden Owners braved the wild winter weather, driving through snow and hail to celebrate our 5th Opening.
In the 2018/19 season, we had more than 50 gardens open and these gardens attracted more than 21,000 visitors. We are pleased that we have been able to keep the entry fees unchanged since Open Gardens SA launched in 2014.
