Deputy Chancellor's garden at "Abington" open this weekend
November 11, 2005
The garden at “Abington”, the property of James Harris, Deputy Chancellor of UNE, will be open to the public this weekend (November 12 and 13).
“Abington” is a sheep and cattle property near Bundarra that has been in the family of Mr Harris’s mother, Anne Forster, since the 1880s. Both of Mr Harris’s parents came from the New England area, and both of their families have been associated with UNE since its founding in the 1930s.
The “Abington” garden, and that at the nearby “Stony Batter North”, will be open as part of Australia’s Open Garden Scheme.
Mr Harris (pictured here) describes the garden surrounding the historic “Abington” homestead as “rambling”, and as featuring “climbing roses, red cannas, buddleias and berberis underplanted with catmint and lavender”.
“Abington” is about 53 km from Uralla along Bundarra Road. Light refreshments will be available, as well as a bookstall and antique and garden tools.
