The Carrick Hill Garden Team, led by Head Gardener Neil Waters, has developed a new section in the Children’s Storybook Trail using themes, imagery and native plants depicted by May Gibbs in her highly successful 20th century children’s books. In response to this garden addition, Carrick Hill is presenting an exhibition of original and rarely seen artwork by May Gibbs. Setting her work alongside a selection of twentieth century and contemporary artists, this exhibition will present the work of May Gibbs as an author, illustrator, artist and environmental campaigner who has inspired generations of artists and scientists.

The Exhibition runs from 1st August – 25th November. Carrick Hill House and Garden is open Wednesday to Sundays and Public Holidays 10 am to 4:30 pm. Admission to House and Exhibition: $17.00 Adults, $12.00 Concession (Free Admission to Gardens & Grounds except for Special Events)
