“Art and Gardens”
An Exhibition by the Staff of Bulleen Art & Garden
14th – 31st July 2016
“Snowy” by Erin Cooper
We’ve got a very creative, as well as capable team at Bulleen Art & Garden. You can see this at Bulleen Art & Garden -the ideas they have; how they help solve your garden or design problems; creative displays; innovative products; how they help you learn in the garden classes or bring out your own creativity in art workshops.
But they also have a life outside Bulleen Art & Garden and this exhibition will showcase some of their other creative talents, which may not be so obvious from their daily work .
We have previously featured their work in the Bolin Bolin Gallery – and it is time to turn the spotlight on them again.
Watch this space for more images of this year’s exhibition.
