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

 My morning walk usually takes me past the magnificent White Fig on the corner of Prince and Victoria Streets. It is such a vibrant meeting place for all sorts of birds, I only hear them as they are hard to spot in such dense foliage. It is so big, like a small bird community that needs its own postcode! It would be the basis for a great children’s story for any good writers out there.

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.
