INSPIRING IN SPRING

THE DANDENONG RANGES GARDEN FESTIVAL

Experience the natural majesty of The Dandenong Ranges at its up-close and exhilarating best at the 2010 Inspiring in Spring – The Dandenong Ranges Garden Festival. This new festival will delight all garden lovers of Melbourne, with the very finest of cool climate garden experiences on show during September and October. We are looking forward to more delightful private open gardens, fascinating garden lectures and a tempting range of festive events for all ages and interests.


We are also excited to be hosting the 2010 Rhododendrons in Australia GOLDEN Jubilee Conference from 17th to 20th October. The Dandenong Ranges in spring is the perfect place to host a Garden Festival and in its first year, with 72 registered activities, it quickly promises to rival any other event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.


The Festival in 2010 will see even more events and activities but in the mean time you can use the links below to see the 2009 events. Enquire about accommodation opportunities early by calling Dandenong Ranges Tourism on 1800 645 505.


Be Inspired in Spring 2010, when we will Garden Fest again!
