A family oriented festival of lights and music in the Garden. Admission by donation. Santa will be here!
The Gardens will be lit up with thousands of Christmas lights. We have a variety of local musicians performing seasonal music from choral to instrumental, including one sing along evening on opening night. Volunteers from the local library delight children and parents alike with storytelling, and musicians will entertain in the Milner House, decorated in old fashioned Christmas splendour. Guess the number of teddy bears in the gardener's cottage to win a prize or bid on silent auction items. Gift shops and tea room will be open. Home-made jams made from fruits from the garden make tasty gifts. All donations support the garden. Although the Gardens are lit up we suggest you bring a flashlight. No reservations taken for the tea room. Golf cart shuttle available for those with mobility issues.
