Good day gardeners,
Despite it being a cold dismal day out there (Sunday), I’m sure your all looking forward to warmer brighter days ahead in the gardening world.
Many thanks for coming along to our meeting last Wednesday, and for your enthusiasm and ideas going forward.
As far as the permaculture talk with Caz, I’m hoping that we can now have this on the 27th of March, but will update you when this is confirmed.
Thanks to Ken and Pauline for sharing plants with us, it all adds to the positivity within the group.
Also it was good to see Eve, Dawn and Alison at the meeting and thanks to Eve for sharing ideas with us and I’m sure there’s more to learn going forward.
