June - Violet Town's Southern Memorial Mural Garden

26/6/2023

 
Our trip to Violet Town proved to be a lovely way to spend a cold day, The Southern Aurora Memorial Mural Garden & Jackson's Produce Store & Cafe were well worth a visit, the food & coffee at the cafe great.  27 of us walked around the shops after lunch, with a number definitely contributing to the economy of  Violet Town! 
​
There will be no Garden Appreciation sessions in July and August due to family commitments. Our next outing will be on Thursday 28th September 2023. 

Stay warm and safe!

Gwen Turner
