This morning, our family headed to Dromana to visit Heronswood Garden for its Harvest Festival. It was an eye-opener seeing how organic gardening is done, without chemical pesticides or fertilisers - a goal which I hope to work towards. Also visited the rare thatched roof restaurant/cafe, took a tour in the historic house and had a picnic.
