Hellens Garden Festival is an organic, evolving event. It’s not without its imperfections, and it’s run on a shoestring budget. What makes it happen is an incredible community of individuals who give their time, energy, and heart because they believe in doing good things for good reasons. Our mission has always been to inspire – to spark curiosity, reflection, and conversations about the planet, people, and the environment. We strive to keep ticket prices low to make the event as accessible as possible. As many of you know, Hellens Garden Festival is more than just a day out – it’s a vital fundraising event in support of Back to the Wild, St Michael’s Hospice and other local beneficiaries. Your presence and support help us continue making a meaningful difference.  Keep the feedback coming – we’re listening.
