5 June 2026, On World Environment Day, internationally acclaimed Norwegian-Irish duo Secret Garden and Greening Australia are proud to announce the launch of the Secret Garden Inspiration Forest — a new partnership that brings together the healing power of music and the restorative power of nature.
For more than three decades, Secret Garden’s music has touched millions of people around the world.
Songs such as You Raise Me Up, Song From A Secret Garden, The Promise and Sometimes When It Rains have become the soundtrack to moments of hope, healing, reflection and emotional connection.
In much the same way, nature has long been recognised as a source of restoration, resilience and wellbeing.
The Secret Garden Inspiration Forest is founded on a simple belief:
Music can heal people. Nature can heal the earth.
Together, both have the power to inspire positive change.
Returning to Australia for the first time in 22 years, Secret Garden’s 2026 Australian Tour will invite audiences not only to experience an unforgettable evening of music, but also to become part of a broader movement celebrating gratitude, renewal and environmental stewardship.
The Inspiration Forest reflects the shared values of both organisations:
Hope.
Connection.
Growth.
Restoration.
And leaving something meaningful for future generations.
Benny Wang, Director of Wise N Rise Pty Ltd and Australian Presenter of Secret Garden: Live in Australia 2026, said:
“Secret Garden’s music has always been about hope, healing and human connection.
When we began speaking with Greening Australia, we realised we shared a common vision.
Music has the power to heal people.
Nature has the power to heal landscapes.
The Inspiration Forest brings these two ideas together in a way that can create lasting impact beyond the concert hall.”
Dominic de Stefani, Senior Lead – Marketing & Communications at Greening Australia, said:
“Greening Australia works with communities, Traditional Owners, farmers, businesses and governments to restore and protect Australia’s unique landscapes and ecosystems.
We are pleased to support initiatives that encourage people to connect with nature, community and positive environmental action.”
The Secret Garden Inspiration Forest also complements the national Who Raised You Up? gratitude initiative inspired by You Raise Me Up, encouraging Australians to reflect on the people, places and experiences that have shaped their lives.
As Australians celebrate World Environment Day, the Secret Garden Inspiration Forest offers a powerful reminder that restoration takes many forms.
Sometimes it begins with a tree.
Sometimes it begins with a song.
And sometimes it begins with a simple act of gratitude.
