Next Sunday Jen and I will be offering a free Tai Chi class in the Illawarra Rhododendron and Rainforest gardens at 10.30am.
There is a cost of $5 donation to enter the garden, and all profits go toward maintaining this beautiful garden which doesn't receive council funding.
You can find details about the garden, how to get there, and how lovely it is at their website https://irrg.au/
We hope to see you there; the weather is expected to be lovely.
