Be part of the first Gardenstead spring meetup in the world

Join gardeners from across the Gardenstead community for a spring gathering at Stonewalls in Musk. Set on the edge of the Wombat State Forest in the Daylesford Macedon region, Stonewalls brings art, landscape and hospitality together in a way that feels considered, generous and alive. This is a rare chance to visit a garden that has never before been open to the public, and to meet kindred growers in person.

This event is for Gardenstead members only. If you are not yet part of the community, you can join today and come along. Download the Gardenstead app and become a member to book your ticket.
