Botanic Garden activities this weekend

It’s the first Sunday of the month – so it’s on again.

The Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens invite you to experience free art and music in the gardens this Sunday, July 4 between 10am and noon.

There’s a whole mix of activity taking place in your gardens, so come along, get some fresh air, and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Local singer/songwriter Zac Gunthorpe will be playing guitar, mandolin and harmonica in the shade of the spreading poinciana trees.

And artist Beatrice Croft is inviting you to create ephemeral arrangements using nature’s own resources – withered or wilting materials from the gardens themselves – to create spontaneous and artistic imagery, to connect you with the moment of the day. Registration is required for this: visit www.noosa.qld.gov.au/connectingnoosa.

The Shade Gardens will also be open from 9am to noon, for a really special horticultural experience.

Dogs on leashes are welcome

And just to ensure you can maintain that inner glow if the weather’s nippy, the Friends have organised a trial of a coffee van.

Make a day of it: bring a picnic and enjoy many of the sheltered seating areas or choose the majesty of the Amphitheatre instead.

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