About Garden Day

Garden Day is an annual movement for green-fingered folk to celebrate the fruits of their labour with family and friends. Whether you have a rolling lawn, volunteer at a community garden or have a few plant boxes on your balcony, everyone is invited to participate. 

Celebrate your garden with a party. Your gathering could be anything from a luncheon or afternoon tea to a picnic or simply relaxing with a good book in your favourite spot in the garden.

So go out and join us in celebrating our green spaces!
