THE FRIENDS

The Friends are a lively and dedicated group formed in 1995 with the aim of promoting and supporting Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens in Daylesford.

We are a not for profit, volunteer organisation whose purpose is to work for the benefit of the Botanic Gardens, to raise money for its ongoing maintenance and development and to bring like-minded people together to share these projects.

We run events locally to raise money and promote community awareness of the Gardens. Past events have included open garden days, cocktail parties, special interest talks, garden tours and of plant sales.

We also assist with the maintenance of the gardens themselves with regular weeding bees and occasional plantings.

New members are always welcome!
