Garden Tours

Guided Walks

Our Garden Guides are passionate, highly trained volunteer members of The Friends. As a specialist group, their mission is to inspire visitors with a deeper appreciation and awareness of the Gardens and all the many roles they play.

You’ll find our Guides leading Free Guided Walks and Booked Walks across all three Botanic Gardens, as well as providing commentary for bus tours of the beautiful Mount Lofty Botanic Garden.

The Guides come together each month to plan upcoming walks, share their vast knowledge, and continue learning. They draw on the expertise of Botanic Garden staff and a variety of specialist guests, ensuring that every walk is rich with stories, about the collections, the plants, the buildings, and the people who help the Gardens thrive.

Every walk they lead is a heartfelt invitation to discover the Gardens in a new and inspiring way!

Free Guided Walk

We love welcoming visitors on our Free Guided Walks, and we’ve found that the magic really happens in smaller groups where everyone feels comfortable to ask questions and share in the experience. 

Small groups of up to FOUR are very welcome to simply join in.

Booked Guided Walk

If you’re planning to come along with a group of FIVE or more, we kindly ask that you book online in advance. This helps us keep the walks intimate, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone.

To make your Booked Walk extra special, we’d love to know what sparks your curiosity in the Garden! Whether it’s rare plants, seasonal highlights, history, or simply the beauty of nature, share your interests with us and we’ll tailor the walk to create a truly memorable experience just for you.

Your experience is important to us, and we want to make sure every guest feels valued and has the chance to fully enjoy the walk. Thank you for helping us create the best possible Guided Walks together!
