This is my third and final post about this year's Triennial at the NGV - my first and second are here and here. The exhibition is well worth a visit before it closes on the 7th of April 2024. We first visited in December 2023 and focussed on the ground floor exhibits which are described here. All the quotes below come from the notes accompanying … [Read more...] about Triennial 2024 (3)

Triennial 2024 (2)
This is my second post on the Triennial at the NGV. A first and third one are here and here. It finishes on the 7th of April 2024; I encourage you to visit at least once. We've been twice as I can only manage about an hour in a gallery! All the quotes below come from the accompanying notes.

Triennial 2024 (1)

Lambley Nursery
I visited Lambley Nursery about which I've heard much praise, on the 24th of September, when Instagram told me the garden was at its loveliest and again on the 2nd of October 2023 when girlfriends - and very knowledgeable - gardeners were free to go. This post is mostly so I can keep the photographs. The gardens were certainly looking lovely in … [Read more...] about Lambley Nursery
