Hi Everyone
Do you all remember that saying "Rain, Rain go away come back
another day"? Well to all Gardeners that is not something we say.
This rain to me is fabulous.


This is the time I plant new plants so the rain gives them a great
start. Okay, I hear you complaining about those weeds but if you
gently pull them, you will be surprised what is underneath them.                               I saw a lot of new seedlings appearing and a couple of them I haven't
seen for two years!!!


Now what have I been doing between showers in my garden? Well, I have had a good look and found
four areas I didn't like anymore. They either had done what I wanted and I wanted a change or I was
bored with the area or it was just messy! I ripped it all out, fertilized the area and then started looking
forward to finding those plants I can't live without or trying a new one. So, I say "Rain, rain come and
stay for my new plant’s sake".


We are very lucky in Gardeners' Circle to have Denise and Sheryl as our Events coordinators. On
Saturday is the Fruit tree grafting workshop then Oct 31st the members who have paid are off to the
Festival of Country Gardens in Bridgetown and surrounding areas. Accommodation was booked twelve
months ago and after numerous trips to Bridgetown to see to all things pertaining to your trip, hopefully
the hard work is coming to an end and they can start to sit back and see how wonderful this trip will be.
Well done Sheryl and Denise.


My tenure as your President is coming to an end at our AGM in March. People on the Executive
Committee (Secretary, Treasurer, Vice-President and President) according to the constitution can only
be in office for three years. Please if anyone would like this position or if you know of someone you think
would be good in this position please come and see me. WE NEED YOU! That's how they got me” I am
hoping it works again.


Until our next newsletter stay safe.
