September - 'The Falls Garden, Longwood'

1/10/2022

 
September’s bus trip to the Falls in Longwood - what a Fantastic Garden!   We were greeted by Marcel and her Garden team and invited to a lovely morning tea baked by team.  A tour of the Gardens was then undertaken by 55 U3A members, who all had a wonderful day.   Lunch at Seven Creek’s Hotel in Euroa was delicious and Benalla Bus driver Mick just great.

Meet at U3A Carpark at 9.30am to travel to Caos Concepts in Mansfield.   A Steel Garden Art Works, it is located in Crosby’s Lane, Mansfield.   Lunch will be at the Delatite Hotel in Mansfield.  We will also visit Snow Gum Nursery at 120 High Street, Mansfield.
