Not only do the NERAMbles showcase gardening but also many other art forms in a celebration of the arts, with proceeds going to the New England Regional Art Museum.
This year the proceeds are going to the newly launched Adopt An Artwork appeal where families, local groups, and businesses will be invited to Adopt an Artwork to cover the cost of its restoration.
Adoption costs vary with each artwork from the Hinton or Coventry Collections, depending on how much conservation work is needed.
These treatments include cleaning, retouching,frame restoration and glass restoration. The costs range from $240 to $10,000 with hundreds of prizes in between. There will be a display about the project in the garden.
"Tintagel" is an expansive arboretum developing on a hill above Armidale with magnificent views of the city.
An avenue of Claret ash provides a memorable entrance to the garden which has a great mix of deciduous trees and evergreen trees which provide year-round shelter. A young orchard is flourishing and a sheltered brick courtyard contains a thriving vegetable garden, full of sculptural plant supports constructed by the owner’s son.
This expansive two-acre garden will provide a backdrop to the many artworks and extra attractions.
Scattered around the garden will be a sculpture display provided by a number of local sculptors, all for sale, which will delight garden visitors.
More local art work, including local pottery and photographic cards, plus a second hand garden book and magazine stall will be extra features along with an Autumn Harvest stall. Another popular stall will be the pre-loved jewellery and scarf stall. Plants will be on sale from Blue Hills Perennial Nursery , “Glenrock”, Tenterfield.
Teas and lunches will be available.
Entry is $8 per adult and children under 18 are free.
To reach the garden from Armidale, take Bundarra Rd , past the saleyards, for just 0.7km, the garden is immediately on the left just after going under the overpass (follow the NERAMble signs).
