THE botanic garden in Coffs Harbour is hosting a nature discovery open day during the school holidays, on Thursday 10 July from 10.30am.
Nature discovery activities for young and old, along with free Habitat Tree posters will be offered from the new Nature Discovery Centre building, which is located about 70 metres from the garden entrance beyond the front lawn and stage/pavilion.
Free 45-minute “Our Habitat Our Home” tours will also be offered through the garden forests, to introduce some of the habitat types of the Coffs Coast and the animals that call them home.
The Friends of the Garden also invite locals to experience the nature of the Coffs Coast area by having a picnic in the garden.
The Friends will be offering a free electric buggy shuttle service, to help mobility-impaired visitors and to transport picnic supplies from the garden entrance to a range of beautiful spots.
The new botanic garden cafe, the Leaf and Bean, can supply pre-ordered hampers to pick up on the day.
“There is always something new to discover in the garden for young and old,” President of the Friends of the Garden, Graham Tupper, told News Of The Area.
“Our new nature discovery centre facility and the new cafe offer enjoyable and safe ways to learn about the plants and wildlife of our region.”
Details on the activities on offer at Nature Discovery Centre Open Day and about the new Leaf and Bean cafe can be found on the botanic garden website: coffsbotanicgarden.com.au
