A wonderful outing in October, to be followed by 'Two Beautiful Gardens' and a catered lunch on Thursday 25th November

30/10/2021

 
We had a wonderful outing in late October, commencing with a morning tea at Parklane Nursery.  The staff there were very hospitable, putting tables out so that we could sit down for a leisurely morning tea when we arrived.  Lunch at the BBQ Garden and Providore in Glenrowan was fabulous.  We all felt so relaxed at the end of the day, with good feedback received from everyone.  

Coming up in November - 'Two Beautiful Gardens'
​

Meet at the U3A Car Park at 9.30 am on Thursday 25th November from where we will visit two beautiful gardens.

​The first - Corrie Witlox’s garden - 3 Ibis Court, Benalla. B.Y.O morning tea.  The second - Geraldine and Garry McCorkell’s garden - 686 Samaria Rd, Benalla.  Lunch will be catered by Helen Kerekes - $12 pp. 

l hope you can come to our last outing for the year   Please let me know if you are coming and dietary needs.   It’s wonderful that Covid19 restrictions have eased and we can visit private gardens once again!  Stay safe.
