Plant Fair at the Frasers

Did you miss this event? Then subscribe to our free email newsletter to receive advance notice of events such as this one. White Hat has kept its subscribers Informed since last century and has long become a Melbourne Institution for those Intelligent and Independent souls prepared to look beyond the bounds of either the mainstream -commercial or mainstream-alternative marketing machines. (However, be warned that we can occasionally be a little Irreverent.)

Gardener's heaven - a lovely garden and the opportunity to buy from a wide selection of rare and unusual plants. Over one special weekend, Australia's Open Garden Scheme is once again bringing together around 40 exhibitors from Victoria and interstate offering choice perennials, rare trees and shrubs, Australian natives, bulbs and succulents, as well as sculpture and specialist tools. This is an ideal opportunity for gardeners to meet and talk with expert growers of the most interesting and unusual plants, and to find something out of the ordinary.

The 5th annual Plant Fair will be held at Tamie and Malcolm Fraser's garden Thurulgoona on the Mornington Peninsula. Embracing its hillside setting and framing expansive views, the beautiful garden features beds of flourishing shrubs, roses and perennials in pleasing combinations wrapping the house and creating intimate corners. There is also a parkland of thriving young native and exotic trees including several uncommon species. Leave your purchases in the plant crèche and take a leisurely stroll around the garden. There will be a free plant creche for your purchases and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

10am-4.30pm, Sat 28 Feb & Sun 1 Match 2009

SCIENCE NEWS
Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner

White Hat congratulates Dr Elizabeth Blackburn on becoming Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner. Readers of our site will know that we have predicted that she would become a Nobel Prize winner for some time and that Elizabeth Blackburn has long been on our list of 200 Significant Australians and 100 Important Living Australians despite the National Trust Living Treasures list passing over her and people like Fields Medal winner Terry Tao in favour of minor media presenters. Congratulations Dr Blackburn from those many thousands who studied science and Melbourne University along with you.

TOURISM NEWS
