From the Maitland Mercury report:
The Maitland Black and White Committee hopes recent warm weather will contribute to one of the best Garden Rambles in years.
In 2013, the committee is celebrating its 45th year of raising funds for blind and visually impaired people in the Hunter Valley with its 30th Garden Ramble next month.
“It’s our 30th anniversary of the Garden Ramble so we must be doing something right,” said Mrs Noonan.
“It’s also the 45th anniversary of the whole committee and we have 11 gardens on show this year.”
