March - 'Afternoon tea under the grapevine'

25/3/2019

Our afternoon tea was under the grapevine - hard to visualise that so recently we appreciated the added cool from the misting-fan - but I still feel it was the goat who did best as there were many rose prunings for her after our labours at Frank and Val's.

We have the April 8th session at Arundel St and will decide there where the last Monday (April 29th) session will be.

Garden Team "added energy and good company to the balance of work and afternoon tea"

11/3/2019

It was a large gathering at Shirlie's which included newcomers Deslie, Janet and Debra who added energy and good company to the balance of work and afternoon tea.

To accommodate long weekend plans we are meeting a week early at Frank and Val's in Barkly St so bring your pruners to #66 on the 4th.

About the Garden Team

A band of enthusiastic gardeners gathers once a month for an afternoon at each member’s garden in rotation. The working bee uses each members skills and abilities to achieve about six hours effect in an hour and a half. Then we rest on our laurels with tea provided by the host and a home-baked and/or healthy plate from the visitors. We head home a little fitter and inspired, often with a new cutting or garden tip.

Meeting Times

2nd and 5th Mondays
2 to 4 pm
Meet at members' gardens by turn.
(If the 2nd Monday is a public holiday, the garden team often meets on an alternate day. Information about changes is included in the newsletter)
