The rainfall has slowed and the sun has made itself at home. Most importantly, the countdown has begun for the anticipated return of Albury’s freshest and most natural festival, Gardenesque! The finest flower festival between Melbourne and Canberra is back this January in the stately Albury Botanic Gardens.
The atmosphere will be buzzing with gardeners from far and wide. There’ll be inspiring displays, helpful workshops, the tastiest food, live performance and so much more. Have peace of mind when bringing your kids, as they won’t get bored with hands-on activities that are sure to inspire budding green thumbs.
