Rare and Unusual Plant Fair

Gardeners can be an intrepid lot and as the weather this weekend clearly showed, prepared to brave the elements in pursuit of their passion. Always on the lookout for something new for the garden. The Rare and Unusual Plant Fair was held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne.

My friend Helena and I volunteered to spend some time in the Open Gardens booth promoting the activities of the organisation.

It was not all work and we were determined to make the most of what was on offer.

Like these excellent donuts and coffee for morning tea, absolutely necessary to give us stamina for the day ahead

And an exhibition

Many interesting sculptures and 

plants, so many unusual and interesting plants

A very late lunch at Entrecôte, 

And something to bring home - worm juice, a gift for the man who has it all!
