It’s all happening at the gardens

Celebrate the start of the final month of winter at Noosa Botanic Gardens on Sunday 1 August with an open-air variety of things to see, hear and do.

From 9am, there’s a special botanical art workshop you can join – no experience necessary. You will create your own bundle of plant materials folded into paper and fabric – these magical prints will then be unwrapped and revealed at the end of the workshop. Meet at the Shade Gardens – and allow three hours for this activity.

Everyone can also enjoy the sounds of 17-year-old singer-songwriter Jack Raymond, who last month won the ANBC Noosa Busking Championships at the Noosa Come Together Festival. He will be playing the gardens from 10am until noon. Don’t miss this talented singer-guitarist.

There will also be a coffee van handily placed at the gardens on the day.

Or if you’re just looking for some fresh air and beauty, and want a tranquil place to enjoy a family barbecue, the gardens are the place to be, with many little private spots dotted around next to Lake Macdonald.

Bring a picnic. Bring your dog, too – but only on a leash!

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