On Saturday March 22, Coliban Springs will open its tranquil five-acre garden oasis to aid The Sisterhood Project, a charity making lifesaving skills accessible to everyone.
The organisation’s founder Grace Larson lives locally in Mia Mia and was the 2024 Victorian winner of the Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year award and runner up for the 2024 National Agrifutures Rural Woman of the Year award.
Coliban Springs has opened its garden several times and is honoured to open this autumn in aid of the Sisterhood Project.
A sumptuous afternoon tea will be served by the CWA. There will be soothing music played in the garden by Bendigo’s Trio Eleganté and wine tasting and sales from Mount Lofty Estate.
Visitors will be encouraged to walk around the garden and seek out the many sitting areas to admire the view.
There will also be a short talk from Nikki Davey, co-founder of ‘Grown not Flown’ – a digital platform and app that seamlessly connects micro and small-scale farmers with consumers, globally. And Kathy Hall will share some of the trials and errors of creating a dry garden in the granite hills of Redesdale.
Tickets are $50 per person. All the profits from the afternoon tea will go to the Sisterhood project. The cost of the tickets are tax deductible.
The afternoon tea will run from 12pm to 4pm at Coliban Springs Garden, 866 Coliban Park Road, Redesdale and tickets can be purchased via www.thesisterhoodproject.com.au
