OPEN DAY 2011

August 27

 

This year the Garden Day was quieter than usual but far from uneventful. Some 10 mm of rain fell on the Garden during the day which made for an interesting day. Most of the  plants brought here for the day were sold. We are still selling more from the Gallery Greenhouse. So get in quick !

Jeff's unusual gumnut key rings and necklaces also sold well. The sausage sizzle lunch was a success, and many of the Stepping Stone Tiles were painted by the young and the young at heart who thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Carol McCormack's Art Exhibition was well attended on the day with many

of her paintings being sold
