The inaugural National Gardening Week will be held from October 8 to 14, and to celebrate this event, there will be an open garden at 12 Patanga Close, Taree on Sunday, October 8 from 10am to 3pm.

Owner Liz says that the garden is quite new, but as a keen gardener, she would like to showcase what can be done to make your garden look great.

She has worked hard to get the garden in good shape, battling very dry weather, poor soil, and birds who eat seed as fast as she plants them.

Entry to the garden will be by gold coin donation, with proceeds going to CanAssist, Manning Valley.

There will also be a plant  stall and raffle.

Liz hopes that many people will come and support a worthy cause.
