The Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens is a hub for connection, wellbeing, and celebration, offering free entry to all. We provide a welcoming space for community gatherings, from weddings and birthdays in the iconic rotunda to High Tea events, guided horticultural tours, and creative classes. These activities attract visitors locally, interstate, and internationally.
As a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity, we rely on donations, sponsorships, and the goodwill of our community to maintain and grow these beloved community gardens. We invite you to support the Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens through a donation.
Every donation makes a difference – and donations of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia.
