Tulips Are Tops
Every year from mid-September to Mid-October we have two great displays of tulips and other flowers near home. The best-known is Floriade, which is put on by the ACT government and draws visitors from all over (see posts from earlier years). In my opinion, the best one is the other one at Tulip Tops, a family-owned garden just over the border in NSW. The flowers are just the same but the garden has several advantages for Oldies and small bears. For a start, it is flat. Anybody who has ever tried pushing a wheelchair along gravel paths will appreciate that. There are lots of flowering trees as well as flowers. Also lots of seats and picnic tables spread around the grounds, so you can bring a picnic and sit in the shade of beautiful trees. Trees are something that this small bear loves to climb. I also like the main entry across a small bridge over a creek which has a waterfall on it. They also have live music at lunch time and the best-tasting pies and sausage rolls (according to Dad, who has lots of experience with Ps&SRs). So for a very relaxed, pleasant outing I thoroughly recommend a visit to Tulip Tops.
