The next First Sunday in the Gardens event at Noosa Botanic Gardens, on July 2, is going to feature something new and special.
As part of NAIDOC Week celebrations, a special Guided Bush Tucker Walk has been organised, hosted by local Gubbi Gubbi woman Lisa Powell, who will take participants on a journey of discovery through the gardens to showcase some of its bush tucker plants, explaining their cultural significance and uses.
The hour-long walk starts at 9am and costs $15 ($10 for Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens members). Bookings are essential and can be made through noosabotanicgardensfriends.com/events, or visit the Friends’ Facebook page.
Meanwhile, the coffee van will again be stationed down by the poincianas to fuel visitors with their morning caffeine hit before Jay Bishoff, Andy Higgins and friends start the music up – and the gardens’ botanically exotic Shade Garden, right next to the poincianas, will be open from 9am to midday.
It’s all set to be another marvellous morning for all your senses. Bring a chair or ground rug for the music, and a hat and walking shoes for the Bush Tucker Walk.
If the weather looks potentially inclement for the day, check on noosabotanicgardensfriends.com or the Friends’ Facebook page the day before for updated advice on any cancellations.
