Not just for the Springton folk; we would love to have the Mount Pleasant gardeners come along as well!

Open Gardens in Springton – Sunday 21 April

A number of the wonderful gardeners of Springton have again agreed to open their gardens for the day, to give you inspiration (or even just some hope in this long, dry summer) and an idea of what grows well around here. The gardens are a remarkable mix of native and cottage, rambling and structured, old and new(ish). If this summer has depressed you with too many plants dying at your place, walk around these gardens, talk to the gardeners and see what has (and what hasn’t) worked for them.

The Springton Hall on Graetz Terrace will open at 9.45am and for $10 (cash and card facilities available) get a wristband ‘ticket’, map and garden descriptions. Parking and public toilets alongside the Hall. Gardens open from 10am-4pm (Edenmae from 11am).

Visit the gardens in any order that takes your fancy, however two of the gardens are next door to one another on William Street, and there will be a coffee van outside! What a great way to start a Sunday stroll around Springton. Edenmae Cellar Door is also opening its garden, and offering a free glass of sparkling (white or red) or a free wine tasting to all ‘ticket’ holders. Come and enjoy the garden with a glass of something in hand.

Plants and seeds will also be for sale at the Hall; all things that have been grown in Springton and that do well here. Proceeds of the Open Garden Day and the plant sale support the Springton Progress Association.

Even if you don’t have time or inclination to visit inside any of the gardens, come and see the Hall and the plant sale. Voting forms for the Most Improved Garden competition will be available from the Hall as well (and can be returned to the Hall, Edenmae or the General Store).

Should be a great day.

Tom Curtain Music
Tom Curtain is a nationally acclaimed singer/ songwriter.

His last album We're Still Here debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country Music Charts with all four singles released from the album also going to No.1.

In 2018 Tom won two Golden Guitar Awards for his single "Never Never Land", a duet with Luke O'Shea. Tom was also awarded the prestigious 2018 Australian Independent Country Music Artist of the Year Award together with Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Territory Time) and Single of the Year("Never Never Land") at the Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards.

Tom is also an official ambassador of Dolly's Dream. Moved by the tragic passing of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, who took her young life after being relentlessly cyber-bullied, Tom put pen to paper and released the single "Speak Up" with Sara Storer. To date, over $50,000 has been raised by the Katherine Outback Experience and Outback Productions through the sale of the song and branded shirts. These donations are used to provide useful and powerful tools for schools, children and family members (www.dollysdream.org.au) to fight online bullying.

Katherine Outback Experience
Owned and operated by Tom Curtain, Katherine Outback Experience (KOE) is an outback show that celebrates life on the land through real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations entwined with live music and humorous bush tales. KOE has won multiple awards over many years - most recently:
- 2022 Winner of the Brolga NT Tourism Award: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Brolga NT Tourism Award: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Brolga NT Chairman’s Choice Award for Tourism Excellence

The show is based in Katherine from April to the end of October over the ‘Dry Season’ months. Over the Wet Season summer months, the team hit the road, touring the Outback Show in conjunction with Tom's music.
