Walk, sip, listen, relax

Sunday mornings at the Botanical Gardens.

Enjoy a perfect Sunday morning at Noosa Botanic Gardens, on 5 March.

Walk, 8.30am: Join the monthly guided walk through the gardens, where Friends of the Gardens volunteers will highlight interesting aspects as you take an easy stroll through the eight-hectare beauty spot.

Sip, 9am: End your walk with a visit to the Shade Garden, home of the more exotic garden species – again, there will be volunteers on hand to help you identify the treasures – then grab a coffee from the adjacent van to refresh yourself.

Listen, 10am: Unpack a chair or drop a blanket under the huge poincianas and sit back to listen to Sunday-style relaxed music for the next couple of hours. Don’t be late – this has become a very popular event.

Then, just relax.

It’s a whole package on offer at Noosa Botanic Gardens on the first Sunday of every month, lovingly supported by Noosa Botanic Gardens Friends volunteer group which assists Noosa Council to look after the gardens year-round.

And put the next plant sale date in your diary – Saturday 25 March from 7am to noon.
