Central Coast Gardens

Post by mudlarkpottery »

While I was at the Gosford exhibition, I took the opportunity of visiting the Japanese gardens nextdoor.

Very nice Penny. I must learn how to post pictures this way. The size makes them better viewing.

Hi Peter. I didn't even take it out of the box. Actually, it's still in the car now with the other 11 boxes.
You'll have to wait until I have time to unpack before I can send it to you. The gardens were beautiful - even in the rain. A friend manned the stall so I could have a very quick look around. I'd like to spend more time to have a better look through the gardens. I'd like to see your photos when you find them.

If I go down there again, I'll take extra photos and post them for you. I didn't have much time that day and it was raining heavily.

I meant specific photos of the zen garden. Perhaps someone from the Central Coast club might be able to do it?

I just opened this item on a scorching hot day and it was just wonderful feeling that lovely 'cool' the gardens emanate. And the koi are stunning.

Hi Brendan. I've just seen your post. The gardens are at the Gosford Arts Centre. I think that's what it's called. I'll try to find out for you.
