Brookfield Garden and Maze visit

10/3/2015

 
What a wonderful day was had by the 20 or so garden enthusiasts at Brookfield Garden.  A very welcome tea and coffee was available on arrival and off we went into the garden and also the private garden attached to the house and B & B.  We all agreed it was a very large garden to care for.  The roses and salvias were beginning their Autumn show.  A large Chess game set in the grass, along with noughts and crosses provided some entertainment.  After a delicious lunch, with dessert, we were shown into the maze and took a short cut to the platform in the centre overlooking the maze and garden.  A good day was had by all and we are now looking forward to our visit to the Melbourne Garden Show in March.

    About the Garden Appreciation Group

    We meet once a month to visit gardens in our area and sometimes further afield.  Gardens range from private gardens to Botanic Gardens such as Melbourne and Albury.  We have also visited Ripponlea, the Victorian Rose Garden at Werribee Park and other special gardens.

    Meeting Times

    4th Thursday.  All day (approx 9.30 - 3.00). Meet at the Seniors Car Park at 9.30 unless otherwise advised by Gwen - check Newsletter for further details.
