Tulip Time is not only our shire’s largest annual event but is also one of Australia’s oldest floral festivals.
This year’s celebrations promise to be one of our most ambitious to date as we transform Bowral’s Corbett Gardens into an artist’s canvas.
The transformation is the centrepiece of our ‘Creating Memories’ display that will see our public gardens showcase a myriad of arts including music, painting, sculpture, dance and photography exhibitions.
The theme of Creating Memories is particularly poignant as it’s designed to raise awareness about the support services offered by this year’s two charity partners – Dementia Australia and Wingecarribee Adult Day Care Centres.
Together these two wonderful organisations assist people living with dementia, their families and carers.
But Tulip Time is of course also a showcase of our beautiful shire and wonderful floral gardens.
Council’s garden crews started work on the displays months ago, planting over 100,000 tulips and thousands of annual flowers.
These massed displays have been spread across Corbett Gardens and our other public spaces, including Leighton Gardens in Moss Vale, the Southern Highlands Welcome Centre and Winifred West Park in Mittagong.
The team from Destination Southern Highlands have been similarly busy, planning a host of activities for the 14-day festival, promising something for every member of the family.
Having been privy to the early concepts I’m sure visitors will be wowed by this year’s displays and entertainment options. Tulip Time is the perfect opportunity to invite family and friends from outside the region to showcase our shire’s many wonderful attractions.
