The much-loved Gardivalia Festival returns in 2025 for one weekend only – Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October – opening the gates to some of West Gippsland’s most beautiful private gardens. Visitors can wander through vibrant spring displays, enjoy country charm, and experience the community spirit that makes this event so special. This year’s program features both new gardens and long-time favourites, alongside workshops, art displays, and garden-themed demonstrations presented by local groups. Established in 2006, Gardivalia has become a highlight of the Gippsland calendar, attracting visitors from across Victoria. Full details and participating gardens at gardivalia.com.au.
