Exciting development! The nets that were protecting the tulips and annuals at Corbett Gardens came off today!

The Horticulture team had to put them on to protect the newly sprouted plants from some naughty cockatoo’s who decided to have tulips for lunch.

Now they’re off so the team can weed and irrigate the garden beds ready for Tulip Time.

And how cute are the early cheeky bloomers?

We can’t wait to see you for Tulip Time! 12 Sept - 6 Oct….link in bio to book your tix in advance!
