Join us for the second in our series of mini (ie not-quite-open-garden) events! The first, our winter celebration was enormous fun and led the way. (If you’ve been receiving newsletters for awhile now, you will know I’ve decided against the kind of huge open gardens of old (at least for now) and instead to invite you to visit the garden over a series of intimate events, each with its very own atmosphere.

This one, on SUNDAY 04 SEPTEMBER will celebrate the arrival of spring with a GARDEN VISIT & MORNING TEA.

The order of the day will run as follows:

10 am arrive at the Hayshed for a glass of elderflower cordial (and we’ll tick your name off the list – this is a strictly ticketed event). Take an early peek at the garden, walk the labyrinth, take your time…

10.30 – 11.30 Tea, Coffee & Cakes will be on offer in the Dairy (yes – all those recipes you love from the House and Garden at Glenmore!).

11.30 The Barn will open so you can pop in during the course of your visit post morning tea.

You’re welcome to wander and linger in the garden…there’s no rush to leave (we just won’t be providing refreshments beyond morning tea). We’ll aim to close the gates behind the last visitors by 3pm.

I’ll be happy to chat all things garden (in fact I’ll leave Kim in charge of the Barn so I can do just that…she can ring the Barn bell to call me back if necessary!).

It’s a wonderful time to visit the garden – when all is freshly pruned and mulched, the structure of it clean and unencumbered. With burgeoning buds and despite the citrus and the kitchen garden being at full tilt, it’s otherwise a garden on the brink…perhaps my favourite time of all, before it bursts!

Please contat me if you have any questions. I’ll much look forward to seeing you here!

**The day will go ahead rain, hail or shine! Afterall…what on earth would I do with all those cakes? Some of my best visits to gardens over the years have been in the rain, but of course I’m hoping it will be the most exquisite spring day! Whatever the weather, please come sensibly shod :)

*** You can pre-order Botanical Water/s here (Rose Geranium, Orange Blossom, Lavender) and I’ll have them bottled and waiting for you!
