Ridgefield, the enchanting garden of Warwick and Paulette Bisley, will be open to the public on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November in conjunction with Rotary Richmond and Healesville’s Worawa Aboriginal College.
Wander through the beautiful garden and experience special performances by Worawa students.
The garden, designed by Robert Boyle, includes a formal garden, crab-apple lawn, croquet lawn, walled garden, birch walk, rose beds, an orchard and vegetable cultivation.
Aboriginal art by Worawa students, along with Devonshire teas, a wine sale, barbecue, plant sale and homemade goods will make for an enjoyable and interesting day in a garden that has been lovingly created to make the most of the breathtaking Yarra Valley views.
Worawa College provides an holistic educational program for Aboriginal girls who come from all over Australia to engage in formal education and formulate their own positive pathways.
Proceeds will support these young women as they progress to achieve their full potential.
Richmond Rotary supports the college in its work.
Ridgefield, at 58 Boundary Road, Coldstream, will be open on both days from 10am to 4.30pm. Entry is $10 with children under 18 free.
