Discovering the Gardens

Discovery Walks and Activities 

Our regular visitors enjoy the striking Silver Border, delight in the scent of the Heritage Roses in Spring, watch the dramatic display of the Perennial Border through Summer, and return for the Ginkgo as it turns butter yellow in late Autumn.  But there is so much more to explore:

  • Please note:  There will be no guided walks, Free or booked when the temperature is 30 degrees or over.

  • Free Discovery Walks: Wednesdays at 11.00 am, Sundays at 2.00 pm, weather permitting. Meet your Guide on the front steps of the Botanic Gardens. 
  • The Discovery Table engages visitors with the selected plants, flowers and fruits that are on display and offers the opportunity to talk with a Guide. Third Sunday of each month.

  • Themed Walks promotes more in-depth and innovative stories of the Gardens.
    For these, a gold coin donation is requested. Second Sunday of each month. 2024 Themed Walks
