January 2nd, 2023Chance to discover ‘The Real Gardens of Lyonville’

The Real Gardens of Lyonville is an event to gladen the heart of all who appreciate good gardens and gardening – and it’s set for Sunday, March 26 2023 from 10am – 4pm.

The Real Gardens of Lyonville event is a showcase of local cool climate gardens.  Small and large, wild and manicured, you will see a selection of gardens to pique your interest. 

There is a dedicated group of passionate gardeners in the small township who tussle with the challenges of invasive weeds and an unpredictable climate to nurture some great gardens, both beautiful and bountiful.

The idea for this event was first hatched by the Lyonville Garden Club.  It then made its way into the Lyonville Community Plan and this helped when applying for a grant from Hepburn Shire Council to assist with the cost of setting up this inaugural event. 

All proceeds from the day will go towards the many other projects to enhance the township, that are in the Community Plan.

For the first year of this event, organisers are delighted to include Babbington Park, home to celebrated chef and local restauranteur Annie Smithers.  They also have six other local gardens for garden lovers to visit during the day. 

There will be short lunchtime talks from local garden experts scheduled at the hall.  Refreshments, including morning teas and lunches, will be available at the Lyonville hall but bookings are essential when buying tickets which are available through humanitix on line.
