Botanic Gardens Week 2026

Botanic Gardens Week 2026, 18 – 24 May, celebrates the theme Where Your Health Grows, highlighting how botanic gardens strengthen mental, physical, and social wellbeing, connect communities, and provide spaces to rest, move, and reconnect with nature.

In a world full of pressure and distraction, your local botanic garden is a natural boost for wellbeing – a place to feel calmer, move more, connect with others, and feel inspired for our future.

Gardens, councils, schools, business and communities are encouraged to get involved. Activities may include guided walks/tours, wellness programs, forest bathing, children’s nature activities, behind-the-scenes tours, talks, sensory garden experiences, cardio/movement programs, sketching or art workshops, community picnics, conversation corners, coffee and connect walks.

Join communities across the country, as they boost their health in their local botanic garden. Visit the website for inspiration, resources, and ways to participate.
