The decision of the NW branch to establish the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden gladdened Noel’s heart. The Garden owes much to his vision, and the influence this had on others. As the original Curator, he created, with an endless stream of equally dedicated enthusiasts, a unique showcase in which to display a treasure trove of rhododendrons.

As part of its ongoing commitment to advocacy and accessibility for all people with disabilities, Multicap Tasmania is proud to announce its partnership with Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of three accessible videos, offering a virtual tour of the garden’s breathtaking beauty across different seasons.

The newsletter for February 1986 told members about the annual picnic day – a very special one because it was being held at the site of the Rhododendron Garden, and gave extensive directions on how to get there.
