6 BUDERIM GARDENS
OPEN FOR VIEWING
(Details on your ticket with a map to find the gardens)

Garden 1
A beautiful courtyard garden, near the Main Road yet still a peaceful haven, this garden features a Balinese-style pavillion & loads of interesting potted plants.

Garden 2
A corner garden with many surprises, both colourful & delightful with a shade house containing many special large tropical plants. This garden is fairly new & also showcases a lovely bed of roses. It’s exciting when you realise all this has been accomplished in 12 months. Well worth a visit to North Buderim.

Garden 3
Awe-inspiring, the entire garden is completely covered in plants! This abundant garden is very well set out with lots of unusual plants & bromeliads.

Garden 4
A battle-axe block hidden from the road, but that’s the best bit! A surprise awaits you…
Many rare plants, including a delicious range of exotic fruit trees plus chooks & bees.
Completely different from the other gardens—a must see!

Garden 5
Hidden behind the fence is a garden with a Balinese flavour. Meander along the pathways leading through the trees to tranquil water features—there’s even a waterfall!

Garden 6
A grand garden, set on a stunning 2-acres with bromeliads, cordylines, large palms, bananas & more, as well as a lovely view over the hills in the distance.
