THE weekend’s cool weather saw Loddon’s green thumbs inspired to begin planning for winter as they headed to Bridgewater Nursery’s fifth birthday sale.
Owner Bianca Rothacker and staff at the Main Street business had a steady stream of customers stocking up on plants, shrubs and trees.
“We had so many of local loyal and regular customers popping in on Friday and then the weekend has been very busy with people again travelling from across the region,” she said. “They always look forward to the birthday sale ... the cooler weather made it ideal for people to pop in, make their purchases and head straight home to start planting and growing new garden ideas.”
The sale boosted the number of people shopping and stopping in town over the three days.
