Alexandra and District Open Gardens
22-23 October 2011
Nine beautiful country
gardens showing their best
after standing the test of fire
and drought. Visit us, meet
the gardeners, enjoy our
gardens and a lovely
relaxing weekend in the
country
Only 2 hours from central
Melbourne and easily
accessible via the Hume
Highway. The Alexandra
District is famous for its
gently rolling hills, river
valleys and the landmark
Cathedral Mountain.
Join local gardeners and
garden enthusiasts for a
delicious dinner at Stonelea
Country Estate. Guest
speaker this year is Andrew
Laidlaw. However, its not all
serious gardening, we also
have games, quizzes and
other ways for you to show
off!
Profits from the Alexandra
and District Open Gardens
are donated to local
community groups. Since
the programme's inception
more than $100,000 has
been distributed to groups
as diverse as the CFA, the
Alexandra Hospital and the
Alexandra Brass Band.
