An unforgettable time

Remember, remember, the fifth of November.

That was first written as a rhyme to Guy Fawkes who sought to blow up the British Houses of Parliament on November 5, 1605.

But this year, November 5 falls on a Sunday – the first Sunday of the month – and that means Music in the Gardens is on, at Noosa Botanic Gardens, from 10am.

Jay Bishoff and Andy Higgins will be there as usual to entertain you – but there’s a lot more than music on offer.

You can enter the fabled Shade Gardens from 9am, where Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens can advise you on the magical mysteries growing therein.

You can also enjoy a coffee to go with your music.

And if you’re early (8.30am), you can join another garden Friend for a guided walk around some of the choicest spots where spring is displaying its best.

In fact, the whole eight hectares is ablaze with colour for the season, so don’t miss out – come on down!

Noosa Botanic Gardens are located on Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from Cooroy.
