Winning the ‘right in my backyard’ category (so far), the West Lynn Gardens are well worth a visit. For a $2 donation you can visit these lovely grounds which are maintained by a team of dedicated volunteers. The gardens include a butterfly house with monarch butterflies perched in every nook and cranny, much to the delight of the kids at the festival day we attended today. One kid was even tormenting the poor things with a butterfly net, which I thought was a bit off, but there you go.
The gardens were established in 1981 – a jolly good year for beginnings, if you ask me. There are picnic areas and basic tea and coffee facilities. You can even get hitched there if you are so inclined. The grounds are open 10am – 4pm seven days a week. Isn’t it incredible what volunteers can achieve?
The whole world runs on the efforts of unpaid workers so why not West Lynn Gardens eh? Can't wait to take Amelie myself.
