Ever wondered what lies behind that garden gate?

Check out some of ​Torquay’s finest private gardens over a fun filled day out on the Surf Coast. Grab a map, coffee and sense of adventure and prepare to be inspired by coastal hideaways, native filled courtyards and finely clipped hedges.

Back for its second year, the Torquay Open Garden festival provides a platform for home owners to showcase their gardens to the local community.

​A not-for-profit organisation, the event aims to share the beauty and diversity of our region’s gardens, fostering a sense of community pride while inspiring a love of gardening in all who attend and raising money for a worthy local charity.

Take a stroll under a canopy of trees, get inspiration for your own projects and chat with the gardeners who created these spaces. ​There are always plenty of opportunities to learn from the experts, as well as grab a coffee and bite to eat.

The Torquay Open Gardens festival is the perfect way to spend a day outdoors, surrounded by natural beauty and the creativity of Surf Coast gardeners.
