DAY TRIP TO ORANGE GARDENS 8TH APRIL

It was beautiful weather for our day trip to Orange gardens.   We saw five amazing gardens ranging from small town house gardens to one of six acres.   Thank you very much to the owners for allowing us to visit. ( Rose & Bart Westgeest, Sally Larance, Dulcie & Alan Griffith, Bob & Liz Smith and Di & Russell Turner).  They were stunning!   Thanks you also to Michael and the staff at “Patmos Garden Cafe”  for the delicious lunch and Bill Berry for getting us to and from Orange.

TRIP TO ANL SITE, FOREST REEFS AND MILLTHORPE

10th of September trip.   Not wonderful weather and wet under foot but still a very interesting and enjoyable day.  First stop was the ANL Site at Browns Creek.   Rob from ANL gave us a very informative talk about their operation.  Then it was on to Forest Reefs to visit a lovely garden.  At one stage though we all thought we might have to push the bus.  After a lunch break in Millthorpe it was off to Millthorpe Nursery.  It is a lovely nursery and private garden.  The bus was a bit heavier on the way home with all our purchases.

SEPTEMBER 4TH MEETING

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THE 4TH OF SEPTEMBER HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER.   OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON THE 2ND OF OCTOBER.

Our next meeting will be held at 2pm on Sunday 3rd March, 2019.  The venue is 223 Eleven Mile Drive. (about halfway along or 2.2 kms from the Kelso end.)   The garden was a cow paddock 36 years ago.   A lot of hard work has transformed the garden into what we see today.  It has several different garden rooms, lots of trees, shrubs, bulbs, flowers and roses.

Please bring a chair, a mug and a share plate. Look forward to seeing you!
