To raise funds, garden parties will take place on Saturday 15 and 16 March from 10am-3 pm at Freya’s home in Faringdon Village, Nambucca Heads. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore what can be achieved in a small garden space, with highlights including two ponds, a lush verandah filled with greenery, and a charming potted vegetable garden. Freya’s signature mosaics will also be on display, adding to the artistic and creative ambiance of the event. A key feature of the fundraiser will be the sale of 150 potted plants, while the ‘Lovely Things Shop’ will boast a collection of over 100 unique owl-themed items, an assortment of jewellery and other treasures. A creative raffle will also be running, with homemade morning and afternoon teas on offer. Guests are advised to park at the Nambucca Plaza and follow the signs to 123 Bangalay Circuit, Faringdon Village. The event is cash-only, and due to village regulations, dogs are not permitted.
