Maybe this time

The weather gods can be unkind – as they were at the beginning of July, when the first Sunday event at Noosa Botanic Gardens had to be cancelled due to uncertain wet conditions.

But Sunday 7 August approaches – and the Botanic Gardens Friends are again gearing up to offer a morning of entertainment, great coffee and a chance to take in the magic of the gardens and the tranquil majesty of Lake Macdonald.

So – weather permitting – from 9am Rob from Bus Stop Espresso will be delivering his classy coffee for all and sundry, while at 10am, popular duo Jay Bishoff and Andrew Higgins will deliver a mix of original and popular songs in keeping with the botanic surrounds, while visitors can have a look into the secrets of the adjacent Shade Gardens.

Noosa Botanic Gardens is a special place every day – but on Sunday 7 August it will be even more so,

Bring a chair or blanket – maybe a picnic to make a day of it – even the dog, but only on-leash.

For more information – and a Saturday updated weather-check – visit Facebook/noosa botanic gardens friends or noosabotanicgardensfriends.com.

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