This is our main event, that involves a lot of organisation and field preparation, a bit of stress (only for us though, you'll be very relaxed there), and a huge amount of excitement.
For the 8th year, we'll be happy to open our gates for a whole Sunday dedicated to you.
Brian will be in his element, chatting about roses for 6 hours without interruptions. He'll have 3 main tours through the nursery, explaining how he grows his roses and what you should do in your garden - a tour approximately every 2 hours, starting at around 10.30 am.
For the first time this year, we'll also have live music and 2 floral arrangements workshops with the talented Cindy Cross - landscaper and gardening expert - at 11.30 am and at 2 pm.
In the market area, we'll have food - BBQ, sandwiches and rolls, sweets and pizza - drinks, coffee, wine and craft beer.
Metal garden sculptures by artist Bruce Willmer; the Rose Society happy to share their knowledge about roses and to register new members; bunches of roses sold by the students of Penola Primary School to raise funds for their camps.
We'll have something for our young visitors too, with a jumping castle (weather permitting) and a Play Area.
Huge Autumn Sale on potted roses and a special discount on all winter orders placed and paid on Sunday 29th.
Wear comfortable shoes and wander through the thousands of rose plants in the field, captured by their colours and their fragrances.
Our Open Day is a great opportunity to see over 800 varieties of roses in flower and to discover our 2020 New Releases, but it's also an important fundraiser for Penola Primary School, with all the money from the entrance donated to improve their equipment and to fund school camps.
