We left Benalla at 8am on Thursday 23 May to go to the Echuca Plant Farm and Nursery, stopping at a lovely park in Echuca for morning tea featuring yummy cakes made by Geraldine. Thank you, Geraldine!
Then on to one of the best nurseries I’ve ever been to. Everything was so well grown and presented, the plants just beautiful, the staff so helpful. Lots of plants went into the undercarriage compartment of the bus, which was almost groaning with the load.
We then went to the Moama RSL for an excellent lunch where we were looked after superbly by the staff. Wayne the bus driver took us for a drive around Echuca after lunch, dropping us at the wharf.
The bus, full of beautiful plants and 49 happy travellers, arrived back at Benalla at about 5 pm. I had so many plants Wayne drove me home and helped me to take them in!
All in all, it was such an enjoyable day, and the weather was so kind to us. Thanks must go to Wayne for looking after us so well.

Coming Up - On Thursday 27th June we will be meeting at 9.30am at the carpark to go to Petra Poole’s garden, 5 Crockford Street, Benalla, where Petra and her helpers will provide morning tea. Thank you, Petra. If you live in the West, you may like to go straight to Petra’s home. Please let me know if you are going to do that.
Lunch will be at Benalla Golf Club. If you haven’t already put your name in the book or let me know, please phone to say you will be attending as I need to know the numbers for catering.

To those who have gone north for the winter – good luck – and to those who have been unwell and were unable to go on the bus trip, we hope you have recovered.
