Think Spring, Think Leura! 2026
Winter is traditionally a quiet time for gardeners, but in the world heritage listed Blue Mountains a group of dedicated garden owners are already preparing their beautiful gardens to take part in this year’s Leura Gardens Festival. Spring is the perfect time to visit the Blue Mountains and what better way to enjoy spring than to visit the beautiful cool-climate gardens of Leura, so close to Sydney.
Gardeners looking for inspiration or just wanting to experience the beauty of spring in the Upper Blue Mountains, will be treated to glorious cool climate spring gardens, showcasing a particularly wide range of styles and sizes. There will be masses of flowers, gorgeous bulbs like tulips, bluebells, and peonies, as well as an amazing variety of plants such as dazzling rhododendrons, azaleas and wonderful cool-climate deciduous trees such as maples, dogwoods and ornamental cherries which will just be coming into their full glory.
The 2026 Leura Gardens Festival, will be open from the 2nd to the 5th of October, 9.30am - 4.30pm. Tickets will be available on the festival website from August 1, 2026. All tickets are valid for the duration of the festival. Money raised helps support the Blue Mountains District ANZAC Memorial Hospital and local health related organizations.
The Festival ‘hop on, hop off’ bus service runs between all gardens, including those at Wentworth Falls, from Leura Station, approximately every 20 - 30 minutes, from 9.30am - 4.30pm (being the the final circuit). The circuit lasts approx. 20 - 30 minutes. For further information and details, phone 0474 933 103 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
