I'd often seen pictures of the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens on Instagram and thought we should go for a look, so we did. Then we spotted the George Tindale Memorial Garden just a few hundred metres down the road, so we had a look at that too.
The Piggery Cafe is just next door to the Alfred Nicholas gardens and we had a quick lunch there. We said hello to the two pigs who live in the grounds (until they end up as lunch, I guess. I think they might have an (o)inkling of their fate because they were not as happy as pigs in mud are supposed to be. They seemed pretty glum.)
Anyway, here are my photos (out of order but *shrug*):
On the walk to Sherbrooke Falls
Mossy log on Sherbrooke Falls walk
Even the fungus had moss on it

There were a lot of hellebore at both gardens

Both gardens also have a lot of azaleas which are a riot of colour right now
