THIS WEEKEND, MARKETS, OPEN GARDENS, FARM VISITS and COURSES

There is so much happening around Adelaide I have listed some events you might be interested in going to, I think all the info is correct but check it out for yourself.

Spring is in full bloom here in Adelaide and there are many rose and flower shows to visit.
The rose garden at the Botanic Gardens looks magnificent.
