Open Days At Littlewood Farm
See 300,000 agapanthus in full bloom: our annual January spectacular
Join Our Famous Open Days
Every January, we open the gates wider than usual so you can experience what 300,000 flowering agapanthus actually looks like.
It’s a sea of blue, purple, and white stretching across sweeping lawns and mass-planted island beds.
From the Pavilion at the top of the slope, the view is breathtaking—more than 20 varieties creating an unforgettable show of flower power at their absolute peak.
What happens during Open Days
When: Some time in January, on a Saturday and Sunday
Hours: 10am-4.30pm
Entry: $10 per person (50% to Open Gardens SA, 50% to Littlehampton CFS)
Agapanthus talks
Learn about varieties, growing conditions, and how to get the best from your plants. Sessions at 11am and 2pm both days.
Plants for sale
Buy the varieties you’ve just seen flowering, with Open Day discounts available. All our mature, bare-rooted stock.
Food and bar
Proper refreshments so you can settle in and enjoy the day. Licensed bar and food available throughout.
Live music
1pm-3pm both days. Because wandering through a garden this beautiful deserves a soundtrack.
Why January?
This is when agapanthus put on their main show. While many varieties flower from October through March, January is peak season—the moment when the entire farm is at its most spectacular.
It’s also when you can see all our varieties flowering simultaneously, making it easier to compare and choose what you’d like for your own garden.
If you’ve only seen standard mauve and white agapanthus in suburban gardens, this weekend will change how you think about these plants entirely.

Can't Make Open Days?
We’re open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 10am-4pm throughout the year (closed August). You’re welcome anytime to see the gardens and buy plants, you just won’t see quite the same concentrated display as during peak January bloom.
But if you can make Open Days? It’s worth it. There’s a reason people drive in from across South Australia for this weekend.
