Spring Open Garden

SPRING OPEN GARDEN – A BLOOMING EVENT FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Tucked away in a quiet North Bendigo street lies a stunning large private garden bursting with colour and vibrancy. On Sunday, 26 October 2025, owners Mandy and Bill Scott will open their gates to the public in support of the Zonta Club of Bendigo’s Laundry Loyalty Cards Project.

Mandy’s passion and knowledge of plants is reflected in the garden’s rich variety—featuring hardy natives, trendy succulents, exotics, trees, hedging, indoor plants, ground covers, and bulbs. Mandy and Bill will be on hand to chat with visitors throughout the day.

The Laundry Loyalty Card Project provides practical help to those in need. Zonta purchases laundry loyalty cards from a local laundry, packages them with soap powder and instructions, and distributes them through community organisations. This simple initiative gives people the dignity of clean clothes.
