Australia's Open Gardens 2011-12 is the gardening and outdoor enthusiast's national guide to nearly 600 outstanding private gardens. The guide offers a yearround schedule of seasonal inspiration and special events such as workshops on new gardening techniques and garden design. Each open garden listing provides directions and opening hours, as well as useful information such as picnic facilities, pram and wheelchair access, plants for sale and dog-friendly status. We aim to inspire Australian gardeners to get out there and see what other people are doing in their gardens.
