president’s perspective

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and brought in the new year well.
I've had a busy time since we last saw each other with my father and my sister, both from South Australia, here for Christmas plus having my four children and eight grandchildren all together for the first time since well before Covid. What a fabulous time, but exhausting with a constantly changing houseful for 6 weeks. I am so sick of washing sheets!!!!

The time I really appreciate in my garden is before everyone wakes. I would grab my tea and go for a quiet walk around. How peaceful are our gardens? They restore us with their beauty and their tranquillity. My garden was full of blooms from roses, day lillies and any other perennial that wanted to pop up to say hi and look how lovely I am. We all work hard
in our gardens to make them look great and we despair when we lose that precious plant but don’t they give us so much back? To see the bulbs come up that I planted or that new plant that is now flowering, or that hard to grow one that is surviving, all this gives me joy, happiness, and pride. I love my garden and never more so than during these holidays where I could escape and find peace.

I am excited about this year for Gardeners' Circle as we are planning some new ideas which I hope you will enjoy. I will wait and tell you as we go along but I hope you all come back refreshed and eager for 2023.

Jan Russell Brown has stepped down from being our Program Coordinator and Ro Birrell is taking her place. Thank you Jan for working so hard rounding up speakers for us to enjoy. The time and energy you have put into this job is very much appreciated and we wish you well in your other endeavours. Thank you also to Ro for stepping into the role.

We are still looking for a secretary to fill Kerry's position as she has done her three years. Kerry will be on hand to help if needed so please don't be scared to put your hand up If you need to know anything at all about the job please speak to Kerry.

We NEED A SECRETARY as this is a vital part of the organization so, please all of you, please give this position
due consideration.


Happy New Year and welcome back to an exciting 2023.
