Our annual conference, Fruits of Orange, is less than three weeks away, with all our speakers and garden visits locked in.
Registration closes on 18 September, with fewer than 20 places for the full conference and optional day tour to Molong and beyond still available. This gives you access to all our lectures, entrée into gardens and old pastoral properties not usually open to the public, a conference dinner at which the very talented Colleen Southwell will speak about her exquisite paper sculptures and garden making.
The Mercure Hotel still has rooms available. You’ll find other options at https://www.orange360.com.au/
There are also places on the post-conference tour to the Blue Mountains led by Stuart Read from Tuesday 29 September to Thursday 1 October. The tour leaves and returns to Orange and will take you through Bathurst to several significant gardens. Accommodation is at the Fairmont Hotel in Leura.
If you are not able to get to Orange, it’s still possible to be part of the conference. Lectures will be live-streamed or sent as a link after the conference, so that you can choose when and where you watch one, two or three sets of the speakers’ program.
