Food and beverages will be available at two of the gardens and a bus will be departing from Maitland Railway Station each morning at 9.45am. Organisers are encouraging participants to meander slowly or sit and relax to take in the views and gather ideas for the gardening season from a variety of garden styles. Three notable gardens are: • The Burton Garden at Dalveen Road, Largs. This garden is now fi ve years old and covers about 1.5 hectares. It is dominated by three water bodies which are part of the stormwater detention area for the adjacent subdivision; the larger of the water bodies was the farm dam.
• Trill cottage at Bolwarra Road, Bolwarra. This garden has evolved
over the past 16 years and sits on a gentle slope with terraced areas of lawn. Garden beds and areas contain annuals, perennials, bulbs, shrubs and many spring-fl owering plants.
• Dreamtime at Durham Grove, Wallalong. After nearly 10 years, these grounds are showing signs of an established garden. Tube stock has grown into well-developed trees and groups such as hakeas and lemon- scented tea trees have reached about three metres, while avenues of conifers are standing tall.
Bookings are required for the bus and can be made through Maitland Tourist Information Centre on 4931 2800 before Tuesday, September 13. Details are available at
