The New England Garden Festival in Nov 24
The New England Garden Trail. We hope many gardeners in your community might like to attend a Garden Festival in northern NSW.
We are a group of community volunteers with a love of gardening and desire to do something positive for our town, our community and our region. The New England Garden Festival Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation hosting a feature event for the New England region to showcase the beautiful gardening potential plentiful in our area, whilst supporting Can Assist by raising funds for local patients, and their families, suffering from a cancer diagnosis.
We aim to bring together gardeners, experts and the community for fun and educational activities, along with a great range of market stalls selling garden-related products. A number of inspirational gardens will be open, along with winning gardens in the Armidale Garden Competition.
The inaugural New England Garden Trail, organised by the New England Garden Festival team, will travel across 6 country towns in the beautiful New England region in 7 days, opening approx. 18+ cold
climate gardens to visitors. Each town will open their 3 gardens between 9am-2pm and Walcha is the first date on Thursday 31st October, 2024. Visitors are encouraged to stay in each town the night before to make most use of the gardens' opening hours. When the gardens close, visitors are encouraged to visit the locally recommended 'hot spots' from each town before moving on to the next town. It will be every gardeners favourite pastime over 7 days in the glorious New England. Disneyland for gardeners!
Specific garden details will be published closer to the event.
