Open Day and Overstock Plant Sale
Overview
Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens Annual Open Day and Plant Sale is on with free entry and free guided tours
Gates open at 9am. EFTPOS available.
Discover the beautiful gardens and exciting future plans. Join a Free Guided Walking Tour and explore the national plant collections, future development areas.
This Open Day is part of Botanic Gardens Week 2026, celebrating the important role botanic gardens play in supporting health, wellbeing and connection to nature.
All plants offered for sale are grown by Friends and Volunteers who cherish good, hardy plants that perform in the garden, including some hard to find plants, plus old fashioned plants no longer available in nurseries. There will be plenty of opportunity to talk to the growers and Friends of the gardens to discuss what you need in your garden.
No dogs allowed as they are a bird habitat area, for the Latham's Snipe, a migratory bird species protected at a federal level under Australian environmental law.
