The Secret Gardens of the Dandenong Ranges is a tour event which takes visitors to some of the finest private gardens in the Dandenong Ranges.
Many of the gardens on the tour are not open to the public, so this specialised tour is the best way to be able to see many of these beautiful private gardens.

The tour requires participants to be able to walk and stand for 1-2 hour periods, although there will be places to rest as presentations and talks are being given. There are steps in some of the gardens as well as some uneven terrain, so participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes.
The tours depart from Kalorama each morning, and those taking the tour need to arrange their own transport to and from Kalorama each morning. The tour departs at 9am each morning.
So come along to the Dandenong Ranges and visit some of the most beautiful gardens hidden away in this picturesque location.
