We now have been having some very heat days right here so final Friday a pal and I took a take a look at Laurel Bank Park earlier than the weekend crowds arrived on the town. The 2021 Carnival of Flowers theme within the park is ‘I See a Dinosaur’.
I seen there did not appear to be as many tulips planted this yr for some motive however those who had been flowering already had been lovely.
Nonetheless, there have been loads of different flowers to understand regardless.
The Wisteria Arbour is trying lovely as common and is a cool place to sit down down on these heat days within the mid 20sC.
A number of the foxgloves and hollyhocks have not opened up absolutely as but. Final yr I requested the gardeners once they had been planted and so they stated in March so I planted my seeds in March however this yr a gardener in Queens Park stated they plant seedlings in March so I should get began earlier subsequent yr.
I discovered it fascinating watching how the gardeners weed the gardens….
….fortunately they did not see me taking a photograph of them. LOL!
This coming weekend is an enormous weekend right here in our metropolis because the Grand Parade will start at 10am on Saturday the 18th. There are a selection of occasions on together with a Craft Show on the Showgrounds which must be enjoyable. I’m within the Bromeliad and Succulent Show which is on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I need to change a number of the Bromeliads I misplaced within the heavy frost we had just a few weeks in the past.
Additionally the Exhibition Gardens are open from the Seventeenth-Twenty sixth September and the Chronicle Garden Competition gardens are open the following two weekends as properly.
There are such a lot of occasions on it’s onerous to work out which of them to go to however when you intend to go to Toowoomba then take a look at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers web site for all particulars.
Additionally the annual Handmade Underneath the Stars on the Cobb and Co Museum is on on the finish of November so I’ve heard though I am unable to discover it marketed as but and in addition the Bush Christmas Exhibition will likely be held from the twenty fourth November to third December at a brand new venue close to the previous one which is the Empire Church Theatre.
I realise we’re very lucky we’re not in lockdown like our southern neighbours and we are able to attend these occasions. Have an exquisite week wherever you’re!
