Lovely locals checking out our Acacia floribunda, commonly known as white sally wattle, gossamer wattle, river wattle or white-sallow wattle on the weekend walk. This Saturday is shaping up to be a perfect day for a garden walk.

Wattles + Grevilleas + Banksias 🌿💛

We didn't get to run our special Wattle Week Walk last week due to the weather, so this week we will and throw in some grevilleas and banksias.

Join us this Saturday for two walks rolled into one, as we take a closer look at the wonderful wattles flowering around the Gardens, along with some spectacular grevilleas and banksias.

The forecast is looking just about perfect for a spring wander. ☀️
