Twilight Jazz Picnic at Cruden Farm

Plant Fair at Cruden Farm

Presented by the wonderful Australia's Open Garden Scheme. This day is gardener's heaven - possibly Australia's most famous garden and the opportunity to buy a wide selection of rare and unusual plants. Over this one special weekend, we're once again bringing together around 40 exhibitors from Victoria and interstate. You can talk to the expert growers of the most interesting and unusual plants, and find something out of the ordinary. With everything from bulbs to trees, natives to exotics, plus garden art, tools, guest speakers and demonstrations - it's an enticing destination for garden-lovers.

This year's Fair is at Cruden Farm, the lifetime achievement of national treasure Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Dame Elisabeth designed and planted the renowned herbaceous borders, picking garden, shrub walks, tree-shaded lawns and one of Australia's most famous avenues, all contributing to a place of rare beauty. You can leave your purchases in our plant creche while you take a leisurely stroll around the garden. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Address: enter from Cranhaven Rd, Langwarrin. Directions: Melway 103:G5.
