Events and Open Days are cancelled for the immediate future owing to extensive damage from the storm that have made conditions unsafe at the Gardens. Please do check back frequently at our website and on FaceBook for updates. The historic house was not damaged but a limb did pierce the roof of the garage wing. The gardens are badly damaged: several very large oaks are down including one that is precariously blocking the driveway so our caretaker can’t get his car out; giant bamboos snapped; dangerous widow-makers hanging from many of the big trees; the top third of the giant Bunya pine snapped off. We will need extensive work by professional arborists, which will be expensive, so donations would be much appreciated! And once the property is safer for volunteers, we will definitely be in need of help! We thank everyone for their concern and support!
