July 9th, 2022Successful raffle

The Friends of Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, Daylesford are delighted with the success of their recent Autumn Raffle. Launched on March 20 at our Gardens Celebration Tea Party it was drawn at our Taylor and Sangster Lecture on June 17.
With prizes valued at just over $3000 we were very grateful to all our generous donors.
The raffle raised $6400 which is a wonderful success and all these funds will be reinvested in the Gardens with a variety of projects linked to the master plan.
Fund raising by the Friends has mainly been through the sale of plants from our nursery and the open gardens we have hosted in significant gardens across the district. The raffle was an innovation for the Friends.
In addition to thanking our donors we wish to thank the public who supported the raffle both in Daylesford and district and across the whole state and especially Melbourne.
Finally we wish to especially thank our wonderful band of volunteers who organised the sale of raffle tickets, braving the elements for some outdoor selling in the township.
Thank you to everyone for making the Autumn Raffle such a major success.
