Stirling and Hills Garden Club: 

A group of garden enthusiasts who love to talk and hear about all things ‘gardening’.


Over the years speakers have come and talked about such diverse topics, as: bats, bromeliads, composting, endangered birds, ferns, fungi, mulch, plant collecting, pruning, rare fruit, roses, soils, weed identification and much more.


Our members have a wealth of knowledge about gardening, the best plants to grow, when and how to plant and more. If you live in, or near, the Adelaide Hills come and join in the fun.

Adelaide Hills Garden Affair

Successful day -Sunday 3rd May 2026
Can you help to continue this sought after Hills gardening event?
Stangate House and Gardens, Aldgate
2O0V8783-Pano.jpg

🌿 Adelaide Hills Garden Affair 2026What a triumph! Over 120 volunteers, 90+ stallholders, sponsors and supporters, 2,500+ garden lovers came together to create a truly special day filling Stangate House and Gardens with colour, conversation and community spirit.

​

The Adelaide Hills have shown there’s a real appetite for a dedicated gardening celebration — and this year proved just how powerful community can be. The Adelaide Hills Garden Affair has connected people, local nurseries and clubs, environmental and educational organisations and gardening experts and showcased the beauty and benefits of gardening like nothing else- A perfect blend for building community.

Seeking new committee members - your skills and life experiences are welcome

​

But here’s the big news: the current organising committee are mostly stepping down. If you care about community, gardens, creativity or learning and want to see this event continue, there’s a place for you. We’d love to meet you. Your life experience and skills are exactly what keeps AHGA succeeding.

​

🌱 Info Session and celebration - where: Stangate House, 3 Edgeware Rd, Aldgate when: June 13 at 3pm. No obligation — contact us or just come along and explore what’s possible.
