Thursday July 7 is our next monthly gathering, once again at Vines @ 139 at 10am on Thursday July 7. We will kick the morning off with our ‘Table of Interest’ with Rosie. Feel free to bring along any plants you would like her to help you with, just make sure they are clean and won’t leave any soil or water at the venue.

We will then have a guest speaker from Paper Daisy Florist with tips on flower arranging.

Members are encouraged to bring along some flowers and/or foliage and a vase and have a go themselves.  Secateurs and a handcloth might be a good idea also. Or you can just sit back and enjoy a cuppa and the presentation.

New members are always welcome, it is only $10 a year to join.
