“Connecting people with an interest in gardening, plants, flowers and nature.”     

We are so grateful for Janine’s talk on Native Bees last Thursday. One thing we can do for all our bees is to have at least three different types of plants flowering every season in our gardens. So, we don’t need a huge garden in order to provide a source of nutrients for our native bees, this could be achieved with some flowers in pots on a balcony. And who doesn’t love to see some flowers out each day, especially in winter, they’re so cheery.  

Thanks also to those who brought along morning tea to share.    

Our next meeting will be on Thursday August 3 at the Joan Muir Centre, 194 Turf Street, Grafton from 10am to midday.

Entry is $2, please bring morning tea to share if you are able. We will supply coffee, tea etc.

There will also be the regular Bring and Buy table so if you have some plants, cuttings or produce you would like to donate, they are greatly appreciated. Please label plants and cuttings to help others know what they are buying. All proceeds go to our Club.

Our guest speaker will be speaking on the topic of Bonsai plants.

Cheryl spoke on this subject last year and we’re looking forward to learning more about how to pot them up.
