Woolbeding Garden visit 4th August 2022

Bernard and Celina had organized this outing to the Gardens we often walk by, but don't necessarily spend any time inside. After catching the NT mini bus transport from The Grange Car Park we spent several hours exploring these Gardens, open only on Thursdays and Fridays for the next two months before closing for the winter.
