It was refreshing to see a new garden. We trimmed, weeded and conquered kangaroo paw and took home small clumps, also some from Helen's variety of potted cuttings, and left her looking forward to finding new plants for some gaps, behind neatened edges. The afternoon took on the look of Henty field day, or a curly Casterton, when her dogs showed they were also keen workers, going through hoops and around and over obstacles in their training circuit. Helen's years of tree planting demonstrated the progress possible in a few decades and made a lovely backdrop to the generous spread we shared on the front verandah.

About the Garden TeamA 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 Times2nd 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) Convenor and contact detailsElspeth Maconachie
