About Orange Open Gardens
Orange Open Gardens is an initiative of the Orange Public School Parents and Citizens (P&C) organisation to raise funds to support the students. All funds raised from the event and merchandise sales allow us to support our school with a variety of projects, from garden improvements to classroom resources.
Since 2018, Orange Open Gardens has provided an opportunity for locals and visitors to explore some of the most beautiful Gardens in and around Orange. Every year our generous garden owners allow visitors to explore their gardens and are often on site to share tips. Visitors tell us they leave the event with new ideas and inspirations for their own gardens.
The annual event is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase our beautiful school with our Hub located on school grounds. You will also find many of our students volunteering on the day at the gardens as well as choirs and musical performances throughout the day.
We are always on the lookout for gardens for future events. If you would like to be considered or get involved, please contact us.
Thank You!
