Tips & Tricks for your day at the Cambridge Garden Festival

How to get the best out of your day at the Cambridge Garden Festival

Your first garden

Your ticket has a Garden for you to start at.  We would appreciate it if you could aim to start at that garden, so that not everyone arrives at the same garden at the same time.  Then plan your day using the map, from that starting garden.

Most of the garden owners will be at their gardens when you visit.  Please feel free to ask them questions as they are keen to share what they have discovered and know.  Visiting gardens and talking to people is the best way to learn!

Toilets

The public toilets are marked on the map.  You can see them with the blue toilet symbol. 

Coffee and Food

You can pre-purchase a yummy picnic lunch, and pick it up on your travels, from Suburban Kitchen on Taylor Street.  There are three lunches, one with ham sandwiches and the other with chicken sandwiches and the third is vegetarian.  To buy them, click here and put in your order.  Orders will close at 5pm on Friday 18th November.

There are many cafes around Cambridge - in the town centre, and also at the St Kilda centre - but you might want to book  (and order) before the day to make sure that you reduce the wait time.

If the weather is nice (which we are all hoping for), Gardens One and Seven are large gardens where the garden owners are happy for you to eat your picnic lunch - bring a rug or some chairs.

Special deals - just produce your cardboard ticket or wristband

Don't forget that Amber Garden Centre has a 20% discount off all full priced items from 19/11/2022 - 20/11/2022 .

Cambridge Jewellers  also have a 10% discount for in store products and this is valid until 3rd December, so come and visit for the weekend and check out their goodies on the Saturday.

Buy plants directly from the gardeners

Some of our gardeners have potted up some plants that you can buy as you visit gardens.  Make sure that you bring some coins and cash - as they will not have eftpos available.

Ticket Terms and Conditions

Please remember that these are private gardens and private property.  As a result, we have terms and conditions on both your map and cardboard ticket (and on the website.)  Please respect these terms and conditions.  Our Garden Welcomers have been requested to alert you to any behaviour that doesn't meet these terms and conditions, and they have the ability to ask people to leave the garden if the rules aren't being fulfilled.  Thank you.

Health & Safety & Parking

Please park and approach and leave the gardens with other peoples safety in mind.

Each garden has a Health & Safety notice as you arrive, please note any hazards.  If an incident occurs, please let the Garden Welcomers know and they will assist you as much as possible.

Have a wonderful time, and thank you for joining us at the 2022 Cambridge Garden Festival.
