FIRE season is upon us, but for many community groups the time for CFA fund-raising is year round.
Warratina Lavender Farm will be hosting its annual open garden weekend next week to support the Wandin CFA.
Enjoy strolling through rows of lavender, wander around the original homestead garden and soak up the tranquil and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by beautiful flowers and soothing scents.
Lavender farm Director Annemarie Manders said that the farm supported Wandin CFA through several events throughout the year.
“You never know when we’re going to need them, so it’s important that they have all the resources they need.
“We raise over $2000 every year. We do whatever we can to help.”
Annemarie said that the farm also holds a woodworking exhibition and quilt show fund-raiser each year.
The money usually goes towards new rescue gear or upgraded equipment.
There will also be craft demonstrations, stalls, music, lavender scones, ice-cream, sausage sizzle, children’s entertainment and more.
Entry will be $10 for adults, $5 for children and $25 for families (four people). For more information contact 03 5964 4650 or email enquiries@warratinalavender.com.au.
