Garden Club: Spring garden visits - 2009
Hogsback Garden Club extends a warm
invitation to you and your group to visit our beautiful Spring Gardens in
September and October 2009.
The gardens at Hogsback enjoy a temperate
climate, and our soils are acidic, so we are able to grow a wide variety of
exotics like rhododenrons, azaleas (including the stunning yellow/orange
deciduous varieties) bulbs, irises, and wonderfully gracious trees like the
Japanese Cherry, Japanese Maples, Tulip Tree, and Dogwoods.
You might also like to wander along our
Indigenous Forest Trails, visit our Waterfalls, or meander through our
Grasslands and Wetlands.
Many of the gardens are “Open” from November
through to mid September each year, by arrangement with the owners, but in
Spring we would like to offer you the following from Thursday 24 September
to the 31 October:
- GUIDED GARDEN TOURS. R35 each.
These are pre-arranged tours, which include tea and two big gardens.
Normally 9.30 – 11.30am . A guide will be with you!
- GARDEN VISITS (Self-guided) R20
adults/R10 scholars. A list of gardens and telephone numbers will be
provided with your ticket so that you can make your own arrangements with
owners.
- HOGSBACK SPRING FESTIVAL: Friday
25 evening - noon Sunday 27 September 2009. Lovely plants for sale, fun
activities, arts/crafts and food stalls.
