23.01.2022 Before looking for the purple patch of Jacaranda, here's a sepia memory from 1907 #parramattapark https://twitter.com/ParraHist//1255277759561170944/photo/1

14.01.2022 Magnificant Dereliction to celebrate 500 Page Friends of the Gardens. Sadly this is only 10% of the original Wistaria, as the foreground shows decades of exotic weed 'cats claw-creeper', and many Cherry, Peach and Palm trees have been lost. amazing photo with thanks: Kylie ODonnell 21 Sept 2020

12.01.2022 Parramatta has a heritage gardens crisis, for a booming city these meaningful cultural connections need State restoration insitu, not disfunctional disneyland - what do you think?

10.01.2022 It’s hardly about the Monet, so what exactly is the failure to manage our State Heritage Gardens with best practice for 3+years..? https://twitter.com/artistmonet/status/1327060236075667456

07.01.2022 Is that NO FUNDING for UNESCO World Heritage listed Parramatta Park? Which includes State Heritage Wistaria Gardens, that were promised to be transferred into the Park trust in Sept 2017. The Gardens are dying and neglected with Cats Claw Creeper and Onionweed, while it’s Domain Creek is being infested by Alligator weed and litter. Very disappointing Rob Stokes MP. It’s not that difficult to actually care!

01.01.2022 There was a time when these awards were presented at the Wistaria Gardens Festival, being a winner itself... That’s before the defunding debacle of State Heritage Mismanagement. /// Anyways Enter your best!!
