A Hidden Sanctuary

About Us

Nestled in the heart of the community, West Lynn Garden is a beautiful 3.6 acre public garden, lovingly created and maintained by dedicated volunteers. Open every day of the year from 10am to 4pm (including public holidays), this tranquil space offers a peaceful retreat for visitors of all ages.

Entry Fee: $5.00 per person (free entry for members and children under 2 years)

We have several indoor and outdoor spaces for hire, suitable for weddings, family celebrations, funerals, business meetings, product launches, weekly or monthly interest group meetings, yoga sessions, meditation classes, commercial filming, photo shoots, bus and tour groups, pre-school and school groups … the list is endless! See our Venue Hire page for more information

We also welcome endowments - the final resting place for your loved one’s ashes in our serene and beautiful garden. See our Endowments page for more information.

We have a no dogs policy within the garden, except for guide or service dogs.

Our Story

West Lynn Garden was established in 1981 on land originally owned by the Eden Garden Society. Since then our passionate volunteers have nurtured this space into a flourishing oasis, filled with vibrant plants, protected heritage trees, sub-tropical gardens and a cherished and popular butterfly house.

We are an independent, community-driven organisation committed to preserving the Garden’s beauty for everyone to enjoy. Our aim is to provide an attractive, inclusive and welcoming environment for the public to enjoy for relaxation, recreation, reflection, education and socialising. Every visit, membership and donation directly supports the ongoing care and development of this special sanctuary.

Planning A Visit?

Due to the Garden’s popularity for group visits and functions, bookings are required for groups of 10 or more. To make a booking, please visit our Contact page and provide details such as the number of visitors, preferred date and any special requirements. Additional charges apply for professional photography or filming—please contact us for more information.

Accessibility: Most areas, including the butterfly house, are wheelchair, mobility scooter and pushchair accessible.

We look forward to welcoming you!
