Local gardens opening to the public
On Satirday and Sunday, October 22 and 23, Penny McKinlay’s
Gardens of the Downs will have two local gardens open to the public.
Both gardens will be open for the two days from 9am to 5pm.
The first is Tracey Wegner’s garden at 268 Reushle Road, Cabarlah,
a soulful, peaceful garden filled with pretty perennials, roses,
natives, exotics and succulents.
Tracey likes to re-use old wooden farm gates and half 44-gallon
planter drums to add dimension and interest and birdbaths and
benches throughout her garden enhance the setting.
The second is James and Barbara McGeoch’s garden located at
507 Ravensbourne Dip Road at Ravensbourne.
These expansive and beautiful grounds boast many garden rooms
all linked superbly with grand walkways, manicured hedges and
tree filled open spaces. The adjoining tree farm will be open for
viewing as well, definitely a ‘must see’ garden.
Visitors to the McGeoch garden are invited to bring a picnic rug
and enjoy a barbecue lunch and morning and afternoon tea catered
for by Zonta Toowoomba, proceeds from which will go to charity. A
coffee van will also be in attendance.
Entry is $5 a garden (cash only).
Charities to benefit from entry fees are Protea Place and Belle Vie
Animal Rescue, chosen by Tracey Wegener, and The Royal Flying
Doctor Service, the choice of James and Barbara McGeoch.

information.
