Open Gardens SA - Luna's Garden
2026-03-28 10:00 - 2026-03-29 16:30 (Australia/Adelaide) | Luna’s Garden, Bilyara Road, Tanunda, South Australia, 5352, Australia
Tucked away at the end of a long, hedge-lined drive is Luna’s Garden, named for the fine life-sized bronze statue of Luna, a joyful, pony-tailed young girl who appears to be playing in the garden. The drive opens to a gravel courtyard flanked by box-edged, flower-filled garden beds, providing a hint of what lies beyond!
Flowers are everywhere and are a highlight of the garden! The many roses have been selected for their colour as well as their ability to repeat-flower, including David Austin varieties and climbers trained up and over walls. A huge old oak tree is the cornerstone of the main garden, and sheltered beneath its spreading canopy are a wide selection of shade-loving plants, some chosen for their flowers, and others for their interesting foliage. Hedges are a feature: the tall ones provide privacy and a dense green backdrop to the colourful planting, and the smaller ones define garden beds.
Garden Size: 1200 sqm
Extra Activities: Morning and afternoon teas
Entry: $10 adults, under 18 free and some concessions are available. Pay at the gate.

2026-04-11 10:00 - 2026-04-12 16:30 | Urban Jungle Sustainable Garden – open garden, Shirley Avenue, Felixstow, South Australia, 5070, Australia
A glimpse of the brightly painted house peeping through the dense foliage of the Urban Jungle Sustainable Garden is the first indication that this is not your usual suburban garden!
Committed environmentalists Chris, with a degree in Environmental Science, and Emeritus Professor John Boland, whose expertise covers many areas of environmental science, including solar energy technologies, have created a garden that provides 30% of their food and has a minimal ecological footprint.
For thirty years, using permaculture techniques, they have organically fed the soil, planted food crops, harvested rain in tanks and swales to ensure no water leaves the site, and reused grey water. Appropriate plant selections have increased biodiversity and habitat for fauna. A frog pond has become a healthy habitat for four frog species.
No chemicals are used, and every little piece of available organic material is composted, creating humus-rich soil that produces generous crops of nutritious vegetables.
Chris and John will share their expertise and the integration of house and garden by taking small-group ‘walk and talks’ around the garden at regular intervals throughout the day.
Garden Size: 1000 sqm
Charity: Hutt St Centre
Extra Activities: Morning and afternoon teas made with herbs from the garden. Healthy baked goods for sale. Walks and talks regularly throughout the day.
Entry: $10 adults, under 18 free and some concessions are available. Pay at the gate.

Open Gardens SA - Scenic Court
2026-04-18 10:00 - 2026-04-19 16:30 | Scenic Court – open garden, Scenic Court, Belair, South Australia, 5052, Australia
Scenic Court garden was open as part of the 2025 SA Landscape Festival but the garden has now matured and is looking spectacular!
The mid-century modern 1969 home was acquired by the current owners 6 years ago and has since been smartly renovated. However the steeply sloping garden was not practical and the owners realised they needed help in creating flat, functional and family friendly spaces. Retaining walls were used to form a series of level terraces each with its own purpose and individual yet connected character. The top terrace makes a lovely secluded sitting spot and offers scenic views and on the level below an area of lawn serves as a play space for children and dogs. Informal stone or timber steps link the different terraces and, with their edges softened with the exuberant planting in the adjoining garden beds, the steps are a striking visual highlight.
The plants have been carefully chosen to connect the garden with the surrounding landscape and to include an outstanding mix of Australian natives, flowering perennials, grasses, and succulents, all water-efficient yet together creating a lush, layered look.
NOTE: THERE ARE LOTS OF STEPS IN THIS STEEP GARDEN – PLEASE TAKE CARE
Garden Size: 1036 sq m
Extra Activities: Morning and afternoon teas. Plant sales.
Entry: $10 Adults, under 18 free, some concessions are available. Pay at the garden gate.

Mother’s Day Weekend at Hilltop
Spend Mother’s Day weekend at this elegant garden with trees in all their autumn glory
After the devastating loss of their beautiful Georgian house and garden in the Port Lincoln bushfires in 2005, Lindy and Richard spent three years searching for a place to rebuild their lives. Eventually, they found Hilltop in Stirling, a large garden with many mature trees, a lake and some fine stone walls.
Tall October Glory maples line the entrance drive, which winds gently through the trees and opens to the striking Dutch Colonial house. Formal lawn terraces, stone walls and paths lead down to a little Italian pond with its charming bronze fountain. An informal woodland garden wraps around the sunken lawn and features deciduous trees known for their beautiful autumn colour underplanted with shade-loving plants.
