Visiting the
Greenhouses
We are located in the city of Melbourne and open to Monday to Sunday from 8 am until
4 pm. We are not closed at weekends or any state holidays. Our staff is generally to answer any questions you may have or
find a plant you wish to see. We do periodically close down some rooms for routine pest control spraying. If you would like
to verify that a particular part of the collection will be open, please do not hesitate to call prior to your visit.
Events
Customers
are able to rent an area to farm their own vegetable. Botany, horticulture and the natural sciences will be explained by our
staff through the activities. This is what we want customers to experience the framing life. In different seasons and in the
various parts of the greenhouse, there are also thematic exhibitions and special events, some of them spotlighting Asian gardening
culture in the China and European culture in Holland.
School groups can have an educational program, including the thematic
visits to the greenhouses and specially designed educational activities for every grade in the workshop.
Organized Tours
Tours are available to school groups, garden clubs and other interested groups. Additionally, on various weekends
throughout the school year we offer public tours on weekends. A fee is charged ($5 per person) and prior reservations are
required as tour size is limited. Currently we are offering weekend tours on:
* Every Saturdays at 1 pm
* Every Sundays
at 1 pm
We are currently in a transitional phase with regards to tours and so scheduled tours are limited this spring.
We plan to offer more weekend tours in the Fall 2005 / Spring 2006 season.
