When you are out visiting Gang Gang Gallery next weekend for 'ADRIFT', drop in on us, ... And bring your sketchbook!

As a bit of a side highlight each year for the Lithgow Arts Trail ...

PEONIES AT FORTY BENDS
Peonies will be blooming at Forty Bends over the next few weeks or so. Our peonies are the first commercial crop to bloom in Australia and New Zealand every year We sell to the public and florists but you must ring/text Sarah at 0434 838 932 or email; [email protected] ...we are 5 minutes out of Lithgow.

Covid has stopped our Artist's Trail and our popular weekend peony afternoon tea fundraiser that usually runs through November.

Instead, garden clubs and our regular peony enthusiast groups can talk to me about organising peony paddock rambles.
As usual, our garden walks are free. We have no ability to ensure people's complete safety during COVID so please only come if you have taken note of all the restrictions and are fit and healthy. Groups come for small wanderings in the fresh air and enjoy the garden if not the usual afternoon tea. The house will not be accessible. I am happy to give instructive talks and answer questions.

The historic garden and farm looks superb with the great season,
Updates will be available every few days once flowering is underway with pictures of different peony varieties blooming.

Please like and share and leave a comment. Sarah.
