Autumn is with us now, for sure, and it’s bringing some amazing colours into Cooroy’s own Noosa Botanic Gardens.
And the best day to go and catch these hues is Sunday 5 May, where you can also enjoy a relaxing gardens walk, a heart-starting coffee, and some laid-back music befitting a tranquil morning.
Yes, it’s another First Sunday event at the gardens, with nature providing a stunning backdrop.
First up, at 8.30am meet up with the gardens’ Friends for a guided walk through the season’s choicest vistas.
After that, stop in at the Shade Garden for an exotic botanic experience, then head to the adjacent poincianas where the welcome whiffs of coffee are already emanating.
Next step: find a seat or some ground (bring a blanket/cushion and hat) to settle in for some fine music provided by well-known artist Jay Bishoff and friends from 10am to midday.
Do a quick weather check at Noosa Botanic Gardens Friends’ Facebook page (Facebook/noosa botanic gardens friends) on the morning of, just to be sure, then head for Noosa Botanic Gardens on Lake Macdonald Drive, about 4km from Cooroy’s CBD.
