Join Sophie Thomson as she takes us through growing veggies vertically to maximise space and utilise produce plants to help cool and shade your garden and home.

Sophie Thomson has continued to light up the screen on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia with her infectious enthusiasm for more than 16 years. She is generous with her knowledge as a horticulturist gleaned from over 35 years of hands-on gardening experience. She shares her insights, tips and knowledge nationally through public speaking engagements, media columns, talk back radio and her recent best-selling book Sophie’s Patch.

Since 2020, she has been working to support fire affected communities on Kangaroo Island and in the Adelaide Hills helping them rebuild their gardens.

The tradition continues…Easter at Sophie’s Patch

Easter at Sophie’s Patch has become a tradition thousands of South Australians, and many interstate visitors have come to enjoy. 2022 will be particularly special as it will be the 15th open garden at Sophie’s Patch.

Where? what? cost? and other important details…

Entry Fee: $15 Adults. $5 Primary School Children. Gates open from 10am to 4.00pm daily.

Sherlock

Sherlock is our wonderful guard dog, flock protector, friend and family pet. He is a breed called a Maremma, bred to protect stock from predators and to be intensely loyal to, and protective of, his family.

Sherlock is true to his breeding and we ask that visitors do not bring other dogs to our property. Visiting dogs will unnecessarily cause Sherlock stress as he feels the need to protect his flock and family from them.

Your support is much appreciated.

Partnering with local charities

Sophie partners with local community groups and charities to organise the parking. In the past few years, Local Rotary Clubs have managed visitor parking to raise money for their chosen charities including “Operation Flinders’.

What happened in previous open gardens?

Open gardens at Sophie’s Patch are more than just demonstrating sustainable gardening practices that I am always preaching, they are more like a fair or community event focused on community education.  Every open garden is different at Sophie’s Patch as the garden grows, different speakers and groups join, amazing sculptures are built and the garden evolves.
