Workshop

Native Beekeeping 101 Workshop

Meet the remarkable native bees of Australia, right here in the gardens. Ian Driver of A Green Soul Native Bees returns to Fairhill for a hands-on morning covering both our native stingless bees and our solitary bees. Learn how to attract them into your own garden with the right plants and insect hotels, watch a live stingless hive division, and taste native honey. You'll build your own bee hotel to take home, and leave with resources and a sample bag to start your bee journey. Stay on afterwards for lunch at the Gardens Café and a stroll through the nursery.

National Bilby Day at Fairhill

National Bilby Day at Fairhill

National Bilby Day celebrates one of Australia's most loved threatened species, and while you won't find a bilby at Fairhill, you will find a whole garden working for the wildlife we do have. Spend the Sunday with us marking the day the Fairhill way: out among the animals, the rangers and the bush. Our rangers will be talking Australian threatened species through the morning sessions, from the bilby's story to the birds, frogs and gliders that call our own gardens home. Fairhill is a registered Land for Wildlife property with more than 3,000 native species in the ground, and there is no better classroom for a young conservationist. Fairhill Farmyard Adventures runs through the morning, baby goat cuddles are at 12.30pm in the Kids' Barn, and the Gardens Café is open all day. Bring the kids, meet the animals, and go home knowing a little more about the neighbours we share the bush with.

Absolutely loved our visit to Fairhill Garden Botanic Adventures! 🌿💗 I took my one-year-old and she absolutely loved it. So much to explore and see, and it was such a beautiful experience for little ones. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰✨

The friendly staff, well stocked retail outlet and great coffee and food were just the start of a great day. Goat walk was fun but the feeding and cuddles of the 6week old goat kids was the Best! Loved this for the feel good buzz this gives you....anx we are adults. The Nursery was impressive and I can see the new owners are determined to restore this place to it's former glory. Slowly it will really shine. Don't expect sophisticated....enjoy the calm 🥰

I always love my visits to Fairhill. It is so much more than the beautiful native nursery and gardens. A wonderful café, great staff to help with enquiries and a real community feel.
