EXQUISITE scenery and stunning views will greet visitors to an open garden to benefit the Macclesfield CFA next month.
‘The Old Bakehouse’ will be holding its first open garden over the weekend of 14 and 15 February.
The garden offers stunning views of the Warburton Ranges and Mount Donna Buang and features ornamental plantings and highly productive areas.
A keen horticultural eye will also spot the rare emerald star bush throughout the five acres of bushland.
The event is being held as part of the Australian Open Garden Scheme and will raise much-needed funds to assist the Macclesfield Fire Brigade in replacing one of its tankers.
As well as allowing guests to roam the impressive gardens on the property, activities held on the day will include an art show hosted by the Emerald Art Society, plant sales, a sausage sizzle, kids’ games and a firetruck display.
The garden will be open from 10am-4.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Entry is $8 for adults and the garden is located at 467 Macclesfield Road, Macclesfield.
