Open Garden Fridays at Eryldene

Next date: Friday, 09 May 2025 | 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Eryldene Open Garden Tours

Discover one of the hidden gems of Sydney’s North Shore. Eryldene is the former home of Professor EG Waterhouse and his family. The house was built and its garden created early last century and there you will find one of Australia’s most important collections of camellias. Professor Waterhouse was internationally recognised for his huge contribution to the “camellia world” and lived in the house until his death in 1977. The Eryldene Trust now opens the garden for events and tours.

Tickets include a tour with one of our informative guides and hear how the garden was created. Enjoy a home-made morning tea/coffee in the loggia. Absorb gardening tips from our volunteer gardeners and hear how we are adapting to a changing climate. You can also explore the gardens independently by paying admission at the gate on the day (does not include the tour or morning tea).

In 2025 our Open Garden Fridays run the second Friday of every month between April and September, 10am-12.30pm. Garden tours are generally held at 10.15am, so please arrive on time.

For groups of over 10 people, please email eryldene@eryldene.org.au to enquire about making a group booking.
