After the success of last year’s Virtual Garden Day, the NGVWA will stream its second Virtual Garden Day from Wednesday 8 December.

This year, the NGVWA along with Principal Event Partner Kay & Burton are incredibly excited to obtain access to four highly coveted private gardens in Western Victoria, including 'Wombat Park' in Daylesford, with most of its majestic trees planted 80-160 years ago, the manicured gardens of 'Darriwill' in Sutherland Creek and properties in Barwon Heads and Dunkeld.

Ticket purchasers will enjoy a 45-minute tour of the gardens with their current custodians and enjoy insights into their design, planning, featured plants, and owners’ commitment to history and the environment.

NGV Curators will also share stories of artworks from the Collection and explore their fascinating connections to the people and country of Western Victoria.

This exclusive access provides glimpses into places of great beauty and significance in Western Victoria. “Garden owners are custodians for a short time in the creation and long legacy of a garden. Like art, beautiful gardens are an ever-evolving work in progress,” says NGVWA Volunteer Sasha McGregor.

This would make a wonderful gift for family and friends. Tickets on sale from 1st November.

Proceeds raised from the event support art acquisitions, curators travel grants and scholarships at the VCA.

The NGVWA was formed in 1961 to raise funds for the NGV. Its efforts along with our Principal Event Partner Kay & Burton and support from so many generous members of the public, have enabled the NGV to acquire a large catalogue of artworks over this time including works by Alicja Kwade, Andy Warhol, John Brack and Yayoi Kasuma.
