BEACH-INSPIRED garden art will be in the spotlight thanks to a collaboration between Tarnagulla businesses and artists.
Octopus and Queen, The Tarnagulla Supply Store and The Woolly Goose and artist Lynda
Vater will offer visitors to the town on October 23 and 24 garden tours and unique craft displays.
There will even be beachinspired garden art to buy.
A display of unique works by local textiles creator and designer Georgie Buckingham from
The Woolly Goose, Vintagy and Fabulous High Tea in the garden catered by The Tarnagulla Supply Store both days, although Saturday’s sittings are already fully subscribed.
Octopus and Queen will be open throughout the weekend to share their special brand of
vintage, home and garden fabulousness!
The Tarnagulla Supply Store will also be open all weekend with their usual extensive offerings of groceries, takeaway food and barista-made coffee.
The businesses have been planning the event throughout the winter and periods of lockdown
to give locals and visitors alike a fun experience and an opportunity to boost tourism in Tarnagulla after 18 months of uncertainty and the cancellation of many events and activities.
“It wasn’t an option to cancel (arts trail weekend activities) because the response to our promotion has been so positive and our High Teas in the garden are nearly booked out” says Frances Clarke from Octopus and Queen.
“Kelly, Grant and I have developed a gorgeous high tea menu that combines sweet and savoury treats and will be served in truly vintagy and fabulous style”.
Kelly Whitton from Tarnagulla Supply Store said: “Working together is much more fun that going it alone.
“We can support each other, bounce ideas off one another and have fun while supporting local tourism,” Kelly said ahead of the town’s special weekend.
