On the 24th of February 39 members of the club had a lovely day out visiting two gardens in Hartley and Little Hartley.   The three year old garden “Hartvale” was full of colourful  plantings.  Owner Jennifer Edwards is also an artist and her eye for colour combinations is reflected in the lovely garden.  The group then visited “Highfield”, a much larger garden.  The group were amazed at the growth of the garden in such a short time.  Lots of plants were purchased from the nursery (Clover Hill Rare Plants).   After the inspection of the garden the group enjoyed a yummy Devonshire tea.

On the 22nd of October the club celebrated its 30th birthday with a lunch at ‘Greens on William’.    The Immediate Past President of Garden Clubs Australia, George Hoad,  was in attendance.  George gave a visual presentation entitled “Inspirational Gardens”.   Thank you to Anne Bromfield and her helpers for decorating the room so beautifully.  Jenny Meenahan organised a beautiful cake which was cut by George.   The club was also presented with a certificate from Garden Clubs of Australia.

On Saturday the 10th of October over 35 members enjoy an afternoon visiting three beautiful gardens.   Each group set off from McDonald’s car park at different times to conform with Covid-19 guidelines.  The weather was perfect and it was great to see smiles on faces.

Thank you to – Jo, Bill, Patrick, Rosemary, Wendy and Ian for allowing us to visit their beautiful and interesting gardens.
