Whistlepipe Events
Open Days
Whistlepipe Gardens opens to the general public four or five times a year. Visitors can then view and buy plants, stroll in the display gardens, talk to the horses, admire the aviary birds, feed or dodge the bandicoots or simply just enjoy some refreshments on the broad verandahs.
There is no entry fee and ample parking available in the paddocks at the rear of the property.

Garden Week
Whistlepipe Gardens has been a major exhibitor at Garden Week, the Nursery and Garden Industry of WA’s premier garden event, every year since 2002.
Not just an exhibitor, we have also won awards for our display of plants in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011. We believe that our exhibit at Garden Week is an opportunity to rekindle the public’s interest in gardening by showing them a greater range of plant varieties, novel ways to combine interesting plants and breathtaking effects with massed plantings.
Garden Week in 2012 will again be held at Perry Lakes from Thursday the 19th to Monday the 23rd of April. Further details will be found on the Garden Week website closer to the event. You will also be kept up to date by subscribing to our newsletter. BACK TO TOP
The Garden Clubs and Societies Fair – there may be two in 2012
In 2008 Whistlepipe Garden’s proprietor, Dr Margaret Clema, first formed the Garden Clubs and Societies Fair and was instrumental in its organisation until 2010 when its management was handed over to the Horticultural Council of WA.
The Fair provides a great opportunity for some 25 clubs and societies to network with each other and to showcase their interests to the general public. Whistlepipe Gardens represents the Salvia Association of Australia at the Fair, and makes a wide selection of Salvia plants available over the two day event.
In 2012 the Fair will be held at the Cannington Exhibition Centre on the 4th and 5th of August, a departure from the previous February dates. A second Fair may also be held in February at the South Perth Civic Centre if there is sufficient interest. Subscribe to our newsletter for regular updates. BACK TO TOP
