Come and discover open gardens in Castlemaine and surrounds at the Castlemaine & District Festival of Gardens.
Our next festival will be held on 2 to 10 November 2024, so put the dates in your diary now!
For over 26 years the gardeners of Castlemaine & District have opened their front gates and welcomed visitors in to enjoy the fruits of their labours.
Every two years, in Melbourne Cup Week, a number of privately owned gardens are selected and offered for your enjoyment. As always there will be a variety of gardens, from grand and historical gardens to small cottage plots and gardens which will intrigue and inspire.
