Yes it was a wonderful day Michelle but hot 35 and humid though not to bad under some of the trees.
Yes I have been to Melb gardens heaps of times having lived there for 45yrs.
When I went down May/June to buy my roses and see the Family I went there and got some great pics
Of the Autumn leaves on the trees, yes it a lovely place all Gardens are dont you think.
Cheers..MM. |

I hope you enjoy yours when they bloom.

| Hi Michelle - how lovely, and how TIMELY! Hubbie and I depart for Tasmania on Sunday. I posted a question here a couple of months ago about where to visit, and I can't wait to get there now. And guess what? I think I have that room with the outdoor balcony you mention! We are staying at Lenna's as well, and I happened to mention that I love roses when I rang to make the booking. The lovely lady there said she had picked a ground floor room opening out onto the rose garden for me. If everyone in Tassie is that thoughtful, we are in for a terrific trip ... |

Oh femmersadsy
You lucky thing!!!
I had a wonderful time at Lenna.
The people are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are fabulous.
I stayed an extra night therefore extending my stay. It was not possible to stay in the same room, so they offered to move my bags and gave me an upgrade!!!!with views over the water.
The food is excellent.I am sure you will have a lovely stay and please let us know how you get on.
Would love to know what you think of Lenna and if you see any particular gardens. Here is a pic of Lenna that is one of my favourites. If you look carefully ,there is a table and chairs so you can sit overlooking the hotel outside on the hallway.I sat there a lot-reading ,having a coffee etc.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Good Luck and happy travelling!!
cheers

| I went to Tassie about a month ago and the roses were unbelievable. If you love Australia and roses, you gotta get to Hobart. I'll try and post some pics in the images gallery forum. |

| waldon aren't the roses fantastic and the gardens wonderful? I will look forward to your pics on the gallery forum. cheers Michelle |

| Here I am, back from Tassie. What a stunning place. I visited the National Rose Garden at Woolmers and absolutely recommend it to anyone else who is planning a trip down south. They have lots of large beds with well-marked plantings of lots of different kinds of roses. I came back with a list of so many roses I now want to plant ... All around Tasmania, especially the north, there are mass plantings of roses, especially thick groundcovers. There was one pink one which I saw absolutely everywhere - I think it may have been Our Rosy Carpet, or perhaps the Carpet Rose kind. (If anyone knows for sure, please let me know!) The only disappointment was the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hobart, where I discovered they have ripped out their formal rose garden completely. But I did visit Pete Cundall's vegie patch which was fun. All in all, a gardener's paradise. |

| Good to hear how it went, femmersady I noticed many rose gardens in private residences as well. I didnt get to Woolmers and the day I planned to go the Botanical Gardens the rain bucketed down.Sounds as though I didnt miss anything! Woolmers is on the list for next time. I saw a lot of what we call" Flower carpet"perhaps thats what you reffering to. Did you enjoy staying at Lenna in Hobart? cheers Michelle |
