Tonight - 7:30 pm | Rpt Sunday, 10th November - 1:30pm
| This time last week, I was at the start of what was to be three amazing days participating in the second New England Garden Festival. I think I mentioned in my Costa’s Corner that this was going to be a good weekend, and I can safely say that it was sensational! From the moment I landed in Armidale, the magical mystery tours began, starting with the gardener who first started planting trees there more than 70 years ago. | | |
