There’ s magic happening every moment in the Gardens … and sometimes there are planned events, too!

Enjoy regular guided walks, talks, workshops, children’s holiday activities, exhibitions, displays in the Arts & Ecology Centre, music events and more.

Great ways to keep up with what’s happening is to check back here regularly, visit #SCevents, and follow Friends of Maroochy Botanic Gardens on Eventbrite or Facebook
