*Brought to you by Adelaide Hills Garden Affair

If there’s one date gardeners should circle in their calendar this autumn, it’s Sunday 3 May. The Adelaide Hills Garden Affair is returning to Stangate House and Gardens in Aldgate — and this year, it’s set to be an inspiring, colourful and joy‑filled Hills gardening event.

Wander through this spectacular autumn Hills garden and explore over 60 stalls bursting with plants, gardening accessories, garden décor and art, and discover ideas that will transform your garden, whether it’s a sprawling block or a sunny balcony.

There will be something here for every gardener — and every garden.

The Inspiration Hub, supported by the Adelaide Hills Council, brings hands‑on activities, expert advice, children’s activities, and a full speakers’ program. This year’s keynote speaker, Sophie Thomson, brings her trademark passion and generosity to the topic of Future Proofing Your Garden — a timely conversation for anyone who wants their patch of earth to thrive. Supported by major sponsor Neutrog Australia, Sophie’s presence underscores the event’s growing influence and credibility. You’ll leave with practical ideas and renewed enthusiasm.

Add delicious food at the pop‑up Station Garden Café and artists painting in the gardens, it becomes clear why this award‑winning event draws gardeners from across the state.

The Major Raffle with over $7,000 in fabulous gardening prizes adds in a sense of shared purpose.  Every ticket purchased supports volunteer‑run organisations, the National Trust SA for Stangate Gardens, a local CFS and the Adelaide Hills Garden Affair, ensuring this beloved event continues to flourish. Raffle tickets online via website.

Plant creches will operate for safe keeping of your purchases while you enjoy the day’s activities and make use of the offsite parking at Heathfield Oval with frequent shuttle buses to and from the venue or easy public transport options via the 801 bus route.
