24.01.2022 This isn’t really where we intended to go but it was still pretty
24.01.2022 How much of the Gardens can you capture in under 2min? Can you catch all the Sakura Cherry, Peach, Plum Almond and CrabApple blossom? Wistaria a bonus ; )
23.01.2022 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!

20.01.2022 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!!
18.01.2022 Please Consider: Peach, Plum or Cherry ; )?
17.01.2022 Reminder: For every tourist and visitor to Parramatta, this is how our Spring Festival Garden Beds looked until 2017. #defunded #atparramatta Destination NSW NSW Health
15.01.2022 Do you know the difference between Sakura - the Flowering Cherry, Peach or Plum varieties still in Wistaria Gardens? Heres a clue >> https://press.ikidane-nippon.com/en/a00058/ photo: 20/9/2018 (IG) @samooow330 (2 years ago, no spring flowerbeds
13.01.2022 Thank you for the enjoyable Gardens visit (in hospital, without intensive care) - after 3 years we hope to get better soon !?
12.01.2022 THINKIBG PINK: Who can guess which are flowering Peach, Plum or Cherry in these beautiful detail photos? https://www.instagram.com/p/CFljmOpjJ_j/
10.01.2022 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 So tragic the State Govt abandoned the longest running tradition of annual spring flower beds for 3 years now
07.01.2022 Those Collectible Sebel Integra(r) chairs really know how to relax around Cumberland Hospital
07.01.2022 Before looking for the purple patch of Jacaranda, here's a sepia memory from 1907 #parramattapark https://twitter.com/ParraHist//1255277759561170944/photo/1
06.01.2022 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
05.01.2022 Have you seen the blossom differences? Left plum; Centre peach; Right cherry [Sakura] Can you find all three (surviving against the odds, or course) source: https://press.ikidane-nippon.com/en/a00058/
05.01.2022 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
