Buninyong Garden Harvest Lunch
A delicious locally grown and prepared picnic meal was enjoyed by all in the Buninyong Botanic Gardens on
Sunday 14 March, 2010. On a perfect autumn day, the feast featured a tasty paella dish with local
wild rabbit, Wurrook gourmet barbecued
sausages, free-range chicken, roasted whole pork
with various locally-made condiments in
sourdough rolls, pizza with a range of toppings
including locally produced ham, salami and
prosciutto and local vegetables, along with blueberry and hazelnut petite cakes for
dessert. Locally produced wine, beer and mineral waters were savoured too.
