Then, wander through the stunning Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in the rainforest-filled conservatory to explore jaw-dropping images that capture nature at its most dramatic, beautiful and raw — entry is free with your ‘Gather in the Garden’ ticket.

Also admire the Tails from the Coasts exhibition, a captivating collection of 200 year-old watercolour paintings featuring fauna from Singapore and the Malay Peninsula. Discover this exquisite art in the magnificent Museum of Economic Botany in the heart of the Garden.

Don’t miss your chance to soak up the vibrant atmosphere, nature and art at this stunning city treasure!
 

Add-on experience - Gin Masterclass

Boost your night with a special gin masterclass from Adelaide’s favourite local distillery, Prohibition Liquor Co.

Start your Gather in the Garden experience early by soaking in the atmosphere as you sit under the Wisteria arbour and taste a local gin inspired by nature.

Be guided by one of Prohibition’s expert staff through a flight of gins, including the new, limited edition Wittunga Botanic Garden gin, with matching mixers and garnishes as you learn the process of gin distillation and recipe creation.

During this masterclass you will receive three tasting pours of Prohibition gin with matched canapes from award-winning Botanic Lodge while you sip, swirl and taste.

Your ticket includes entry to Gather in the Garden, so after your masterclass head to the Museum Lawn to hear the live band, grab a bite to eat and drink, and discover the jaw-dropping images in the acclaimed Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, and see the exquisite 200-year old watercolours in Tails from the Coasts.  

Please note to participate in this masterclass you must be 18-years old and over.
