Violet Town Garden Group
The Violet Town Garden Group is comprised of friendly and enthusiastic members, some from as far afield as Shepparton. The group is geared towards an enjoyable get together once a month, of like-minded people. Our usual venues are member’s gardens, the local community hall if the weather is too inclement, or a trip to somewhere mutually decided on.
We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 10.00 am. We take it in turns to view each other’s gardens and the morning usually finishes after a couple hours of exploring, having a cuppa and an enthusiastic exchange of information. January and February are our only two months off as usually it is too hot to be roaming around outdoors.
We welcome anyone who is interested in gardening or just checking out what others have achieved. You certainly do not have to be an expert – all you need is an enthusiastic interest in anything involved with being in the garden.
The Violet Town Village Voice includes a report each month and indicates the location of the next meeting.

The Ian Errey Museum is open Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm (check whether current Covid restrictions have caused changes to these times)
The Museum is on a site that was once a blacksmith, hardware supplies and undertakers business in the 1890s. The old building has now been restored by volunteers.
The museum aims to preserve the stories of Violet Town's interesting and resilient community.
Exhibitions focus on particular themes or significant past events in the history of the town and district. These are taken down or reduced two or three times a year to make way for new exhibitions.
Current Exhibition
Hotels and Inns of Violet Town explores the changing style, importance and locations of the hotels and inns in Violet Town over time (see What’s On and the Violet Town Museum facebook page for the latest updates.)
