The Maryborough Open Gardens 2024 (Queensland) will be held over the weekend of 31 August and 1 September 2024.
Town Gardens will be open on Saturday 31 August from 9.00 am to 4.00pm.
Country Gardens will be open on Sunday 1 September from 9.00am to 4.00pm.
Maryborough Open Gardens have introduced a small fee to help make the event more sustainable and to move us away from being reliant on Council funding. We have reviewed our event costs and have streamlined where possible to ensure our entry fee is affordable.
Maryborough Open Gardens continues to be delivered by volunteers.
Maryborough Open Gardens charge a small entry fee of $5.00 each day per adult for entry into all the gardens on that day. Entry for children under 16 years is free. ($5.00 per adult for entry into all Town Gardens on Saturday and $5.00 per adult for entry into all Country Gardens on Sunday.)
Some gardens will not have the facilities to take the entry fee so we ask that visitors go the Town and Country gardens listed below to pay their entry fee and receive a wrist band. The wrist band provides entry into all gardens on the day.
The $ symbol on the garden information means that garden will have payment facilities. Payment can be made by cash only. Gardens will not have EFTPOS facilities for payment of the entry fee.
