Description

Join the Eskbank House Museum Garden Team for a session on Winter Pruning and Shaded Gardening with horticulturalist & arborist Jessica Lawn. Jessica Lawn designed the heritage garden at the museum as an imagined kitchen garden with a traditional layout and plantings that are listed as available in Australia in the 1800s, in keeping with the period of Eskbank House.

The session takes you through best practice pruning with demonstrations using the deciduous fruit trees and grape vine in the Eskbank community heritage garden, fondly known as Mary's Garden. The will also discussions issues with shaded gardening.

Tea & coffee will be available and the museum is a beautiful place to bring your lunch and enjoy a picnic in the grounds.

Who we are

Eskbank House Museum is the Lithgow districts regional museum. Set within a historic estate, the museum aims to collect, preserve and interpret the histories associated with the early settlement and development of the region.

Initially opened to the public on 21 November 1966 as a house museum, one of the earliest house museums in Australia, the collection quickly expanded to support the research interests of the Lithgow District Historical Society. The collection developed to include objects of state and national significance, including the important Iron Black Roses, Sutton Family Crazy Patchwork Quilt, Sir Joseph Cook Collection, and the Lithgow Valley Colliery Company Collection (Lithgow Pottery).

Vision

Eskbank House Museum’s vision is to be a vibrant cultural centre that illuminates the region’s past and celebrates the present through a dynamic program that values heritage and the arts.
