Gargarro Botanic Garden
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (13:43): Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with Jan Smith, Doc McDonald and volunteers at the Gargarro Botanic Garden as they continue to push forward with the development of this incredible project. They have now submitted a $100,000 pitch to the Enabling Tourism Fund, which will allow for the next step towards the completion of the world-class botanic garden. The closure of the Heinz tomato sauce factory in the area allowed this ambitious, bold, beautiful and breathtaking garden to exist, creating a place that is wonderful for events, a place for education and a place to showcase native planting. I have been lucky enough to see this garden grow in recent years, with it becoming a crucial part of the Girgarre community, attracting tourism, promoting sustainability and improving the local economy.
