19th November, 2024.
It was wonderful to see such a large crowd at this year's Bloom Festival held today at Picton Botanic Gardens in Wollondilly. There was plenty to enjoy and plenty of enjoyable conversations, from the market stalls and the local nurseries' potted garden displays with plants for sale, to botanic‑themed info booths and hands-on gardening activities for young people. To name a few of the services present today, thanks to Greater Sydney Landcare, WIRES, and Greater Sydney Local Land Services for their informative displays and to OSCA - One Stop Community Assistance Inc. for the delicious scones with jam and cream. Congratulations to all the Spring Garden Competition winners Landcare Australia for their tremendous work. Well done to everyone involved at Wollondilly Shire Council for a terrific Bloom Festival 2024.
