Early Summer Walk on the Wild Side
Thursday 1st December, 2022 5pm, Meet at Gatekeepers Collage, free
Join us at the Cottage to meet for a walk to the Wetlands and Fairyland. We would like to explore activity ideas and direction for the new biodiversity Friends group being formed in 2023. Hope you can make it and help to get this new group on its way. It will be a relaxed and informal sharing occasion.
A visit from Gardening Australia host – Costa!
We had an unexpected visit from Costa last week when he was filming in the gardens! He checked out our Plant Trolley, visited some of our growers in the Nursery and then visited our Cottage to see what Botanikids do! He is passionate about gardening and was so interested in everything the Friends are doing!
He was so impressed with the Cottage and what Julie and her team do with Botanikids he did a live video stream on facebook. Click on the link below to see it. It is such a fantastic promotion for the Friends, the Gatekeepers Cottage and the Botanikids!
