Explore our garden locations
See all the participating gardens across the Bass Coast area, plan your visit and discover the diverse beauty each garden has to offer.
Where are the gardens located?
The brochure has the addresses of all the participating gardens and a map showing the location of each garden. In January copies of the brochure will be available at visitor information centers and public libraries across Bass Coast. Over the Edible Gardens weekend the brochure will also be available to collect at each of the participating gardens. There will be roadside signs on the approach to each garden, pointing you in the right direction.
