St Kilda Botanical Gardens celebrates 165 years

Turning 165 calls for a party, and the Friends of St Kilda Botanical Gardens have a lovely afternoon lined up. Elwood Community Choir and Prahran Accordion Band will provide the live music, with the choir once again premiering a specially commissioned piece about the Gardens.

There’ll be face painting, plant sales and plenty of family fun, too. Pack a picnic lunch or afternoon tea and make an afternoon of it. The celebration is a day ahead of the Gardens’ anniversary on 16 November — close enough to bring out the picnic rug!

Sunday 15 November, 2–5 pm. St Kilda Botanical Gardens — look for the marquee between the pond and the Friends’ two glasshouses.
