How To Book

Garden admission
Garden entry is by ticket only.
You can pre purchase tickets at our official ticket outlets or at any of our festival gardens.
You can purchase as many tickets as you need and there is no booking fee!
We encourage pre purchase of tickets so that our gardeners are free to walk and talk you around their garden.
Each garden has nominated their charge of either $4, $8 or $12. Tickets are sold in $4 denominations, so that a $4 garden requires 1 ticket and a $12 garden requires 3 tickets etc...
Look out for the following symbolin the garden descriptions. This symbol highlights how many tickets you need to visit that garden.
