The Guides

Do you enjoy walking in Geelong Botanic Gardens?

Would you like to share the history of the fourth oldest botanic garden in Australia. The first curators were avid plant collectors and many of the splendid trees they planted, now have Heritage status. Several historic structures have also found a home here, including some 'curiosities'.

Why not train as a GBG Guide?

  • Join our next training course in February 2026.
  • Learn about our plants and history (you do not have to know everything!!!)
  • Partner with a mentor Guide
  • Share the wonders of our Gardens with visitors.
  • The Guides meeting is once a month and Guides are usually on duty for 1-2 hours per month.
