The event will be held over the weekend of 19th and 20th October and like in previous events, six gardens will be open to the public at the peak of their spring growth and vitality.
The owners of the gardens will be on hand to talk to attendees and share their secrets and techniques and how they create and manage the impressive garden creations.
Mudgee Rotary Club President Ross Hearne said they've got a fresh lineup of gardens ready to excite keen festival-goers.

"In this second year of the Garden Spectacular, we searched for a whole new selection of gardens so as to attract last year's visitors to come back again, and we think that objective has been achieved," he said.
"Ranging from a community garden to grand gardens and, for good measure, an art exhibition which is not normally open to the public, we have something to interest gardeners and anyone who enjoys beautiful gardens,"
"Visitors will learn and be inspired by successful gardeners who achieve their results through careful plant selection, thoughtful design, water-wise techniques, and more, plus the magic ingredients- passion, energy and long-term commitment to creating a beautiful garden."
Food will be provided by the CWA at "Milroy", where there will also be a coffee cart. Other attractions include plant stalls, talks and guided walks by local gardening experts.
The house at Gem Manor will be open and visitors can view the extensive collection of paintings and decorative art works.
You can preview the gardens and get more details about the event from the official website: www.mudgeegardenspectacular.org.au
