The garden occasionally features in the itinerary of Ross Garden Tours, operated by horticultural royalty Graham and Sandra Ross. On special occasions it may be opened for garden clubs and events, though strictly by prior arrangement well in advance. As the garden is a family home first, unfortunately not all requests can be accommodated.
Ideas are churning about possible combined garden and studio openings in the future. Please subscribe to The Garden Curator mailing list here where any news will be shared.

Home Made and Heartfelt Garden Making with Colleen Southwell
My Rural Retreat, Guyra NSW 30 April - 1 May 2022
There are great rewards in a home-made garden, and the simple act of sinking hands into soil is proven to benefit our wellbeing. A garden can nourish our hearts and our bellies, exercise our minds and our muscles, and tell the story of those who live within it. This weekend gathering is a conversation and workshop about home made garden making - gardens grown with heart and hand to engage all senses.
The best gardens have roots that sink far deeper than appearances alone - we consider what it is that makes a beautiful and enriching garden, and how you can embark on your own garden making path through the pleasures of slow and shared gardening.
We’ll dig deeper too into design, considering how to create a garden with good “bones” that sits gently in the landscape, and ways to bring life, character and story to the garden through planting and creativity. There’ll be plenty of practical tips and information to set you on your way.
Be prepared to have lots of tea, coffee and cake, a delicious lunch from the MRR kitchen garden and a glass or two of champagne! Accommodation is also available onsite.
Bookings can be made at My Rural Retreat.
