Woolsthorpe's Union Homestead open to public in November

The spectacular grounds of Woolsthorpe's historic Union homestead will be open to the public next month.

The picturesque, historic garden will be open on Sunday, November 21, as part of a Garden Party and Christmas Bizarre fund-raiser for Warrnambool's Rotary House.

The well-known property features a beautiful garden and has been recognised for its grounds for decades. The property's previous owners, the late Gwen and Edna Jones, were also generous in allowing their grounds to be used for functions.

Gwen often helped in the garden and it is said the spectacular wisteria climber has grown from a seed which was brought from Japan more than 125 years ago.

The Garden Party and Christmas Bizarre will run from 12pm-4pm and will include a barbeque, farm tours, Christmas stalls, Devonshire teas and more.

Admission will be $5 for adults, $2 for secondary students and primary school pupils will be admitted free. Union Homestead is on Ballangeich Road, look for signs just outside Woolsthorpe.
