Almost everything you see at Stangate House is volunteer-tended. The pruning, the planting, the watering, the careful management of a heritage landscape; all of it is given freely, week by week, by people who have committed themselves to this place.

The garden is cared for by two groups, working alongside the National Trust of South Australia. All volunteers that are the day-to-day custodians, and have been for decades. They host the open garden days, the morning teas, and shape the rhythm of life on the property.

The Camellia Society of South Australia maintains the camellia collection that gives the garden its name and its heart, contributing through regular working bees and the deep expertise of its members.

The Rhododendron Society of South Australia tends to the rhododendrons and azaleas, runs seasonal plant sales, and joins the Camellia Society on shared working days; a quiet collaboration between two of the state’s most established plant societies.

To stay at Stangate House is to be a temporary guest in their long work.
