the reading corner, williamstown botanical gardens

Williamstown Botanical Gardens is a beautiful spot to visit at the best of times, but during the school holidays it is even better - the wonderful team from Friends of Williamstown Botanic Gardens have set up a 'reading corner' for you to come and use.
What a perfect way to spend a couple of hours - bring a picnic lunch and even your own blanket as it does get busy and kick back and relax! The corner moves around the gardens from day to day so part of the fun is finding it!
