Join us for a walkaround Rushall Park, Abound or old name Old Colonist Association (OCA), where the new head gardener Rachel will take us a guided tour of the gardens. They have a fab garden starting with Von Mueller & Guilfoil influence when it was set up for artists and actors that could not afford to live out their life.
Also, the architects would love the eras of buildings which has it all from heritage listed Victorian to ultra modern. Each resident has got their own plot which will also be on show. As an exchange, we can bring herbs or cuttings to give away to gardening residents.
