The main problem in the garden at present is the dry weather.

Wasps continue to be the main pests. Wasp powder from gardening suppliers is effective

We visited 2 local garden club members and gardens. Laureen’s town garden demonstrated how productive and pretty a smaller area could be, her beautifully design use of raised beds, especially in vegetable garden, were impressive and her grapes were delicious. Ngaire’s large gully section was a total contrast she has created a tranquil beautiful oasis inviting nature and humans to enjoy and relax.

Many members are visiting Ayrlie’s open day on weekend of 14,15th March.

Our April meeting is Thursday 3rd at RSA we will be visiting and having our lunch at The Gordonton Antique Gardens.
