THE annual Romancing the Stone Open Garden and plant sale is on again early next month.

Weekend activities include a garden talk and recap of past open gardens by garden creator Tom Hogg, a ‘golden oldie’ singalong with Joe, and art exhibitions and sales by various local artists.

The award-winning garden offers expansive views featuring waterfalls, fish ponds, stone bridges, fountains and sculptures, as well as a stage, gazebo, stone grotto and amphitheatre.

There will also be a kids’ activity corner, including glitter tattoos, a treasure hunt and colouring in sheets.

Food includes a sausage sizzle, Devonshire teas, soup and cakes, all served in a large, enclosed courtyard.
