Come and Have a Sticky Beak at two Montville Gardens



October 1st &2nd   “The Shambles” 85 Western Ave Montville
                               & “Wongawilli”19 Manley Drive Montville
Montville has some bushy hedges that hide many gardens from view as you drive by. As a gardener there is often something intriguing about peaking over a fence or around a hedge to find an interesting plant or lush garden. This October you are invited in to see two mature gardens   and to explore the pathways, discover plants, get ideas and to just sit back and relax in. Each garden owner has nominated a worthy cause to fundraise for. Michael and Kyleigh at “The Shambles” have selected Cittamiani Hospice for their supportive work in palliative care in this area while Rowena at “Wongawilli” continues to raise funds for rebuilding work in Fiji.

Neither of these gardens have reticulated water so the plants used have proven themselves as hardy and resilient in times of low rainfall and flooding rains. Both gardens are private places that reflect the interests of the owners who will be on hand to answer questions over the weekend.  All sticky beaks welcome.
