The recent Ivanhoe Garden Club bus trip was an excellent day, enjoyed by everyone. A full bus left Ivanhoe around 9.15am with members from our own club and guests from Preston and Doncaster Garden Clubs.
We traveled to the Lilydale area and had a lovely morning tea at a covered area at the Lilydale Lake Park.
After this we went on to the Yarra Valley Plant Fair in Wandin where we had a chance to look at all of wonderful stalls, buy and discuss plants and have our lunch surrounded by plant lovers of all kinds. The beautiful Autumn sun came out for us making the day even more enjoyable.
A short trip took us to Meg Bentley’s garden for a walk around her shady, enchanting property with a chance to buy plants. Meg very kindly answered questions about the various Salvias in her collection.
We then headed for home! A very full and satisfying day out. Thank you to the wonderful bus trips team of Jane, Maria and Julie who organised this great day for the club.
