Bent Street Garden – Open Gardens Victoria – SOLD OUT

Can a typical inner-city garden become a haven for biodiversity? Bent Street Garden makes a compelling case. Set on a 372-square-metre block in Northcote on Wurundjeri Country, this young garden demonstrates how naturalistic planting, sustainability and wildlife habitat can flourish in an ordinary suburban setting.
Owners Andrew and Rose have lived here since 2004. As their family’s needs evolved, they reimagined their Edwardian home and garden, placing sustainability at the heart of the project. In 2025, they engaged naturalistic landscape designer and plantsman Tim Pilgrim to create a garden where plants, people and wildlife thrive together.

Tim will speak at 12pm and 1.30pm on Sunday and sign copies of his book, Wild by Design. Timed-entry tickets are required, and a portion of gate takings will support CERES.  Entry via TryBooking. This event has sold out, no tickets are currently available. Please contact the organise for any queries. 

Session times: 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm on each day, each session running for 1 hour.
Adults $8, Students $5 (with ID card)
Under 18 and students with OGV Annual Student Pass (with ID) - Free
