| Autumn and Spring 2009 Garden Weekends at Bronte House
The next Open Days for 2009 will be April 4th & 5th, September 26th and 27th and November 21st and 22nd.
The garden is only open a few days each year giving garden enthusiasts and locals an opportunity to wander through a 19th century garden – a feeling enhanced by rare plant selections, a natural creek and beautiful native birds.
Head Gardener Myles Baldwin said, “New to the garden is a world’s first planting of a Wollemi Pine. Never before has a Wollemi Pine been planted in a true garden setting”. The Wollemi will be positioned at the end of Lovers Walk at the Bronte gully, and will be in protected conditions similar to its home gully.
The pine was bought at the first generation release of Wollemi pine is a direct descendant from the Hercules tree. A keen horticultural eye would note three similarities between the Wollemi pine and the existing stands of araucaria. Myles Baldwin and Chris Owen will be available to answer questions on the garden.
