If you’re looking to explore gardens through the Dandenong Ranges this spring, you may be in for a treat with a tour from the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society.

10 acres of beautiful gardens are run by the society’s volunteers, with not just rhododendrons, azaleas and Kind Protea amongst the grounds but spectacular views of the Great Dividing Range in the distance.

To book a tour of the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society’s gardens, contact secretary Eric Watson via email at secretary@fchs.org.au.

The Ferny Creek Horticultural Society is located at 100 Hilton Road, Sassafras.
