Welcome back everyone. I hope your Christmas was joyful and full of love
with your families. My Dad, who is 96 years old, flew in from S.A. and got to
spend Christmas with his Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. We were
very blessed to have him with us. A lovely memory to have. I hope you all
made some wonderful memories too.
Our year as Gardeners started with a bang; the heat was atrocious! However,
I was pleased to note my garden came through rather well, but of course I have
chilli thrips and now in our area, Queensland Fruit Fly. As gardeners we need to be both mentally and physically strong to cope with the many problems that plague us. We still garden though, don't we? Why? Because we love it! Despite all these new diseases there is so much beauty to still be had and enjoy.
Part of that joy is coming and being part of Gardeners' Circle, and speaking to like-minded people, and
listening and learning from our wonderful speakers, and of course spending money at those great stalls.
Another asset to this fabulous club is our very full library where I can take a book or video home to relax and
enjoy.
This will be my last President's letter to you all so may I say how I enjoyed being your President and getting to
know more of you. It’s been my privilege to see how the Gardeners' Circle comes together with many people
working behind the scene. I was very fortunate to work with a wonderful committee who were happy to listen
to my ideas and let me put some of them into practice. My three years as your President has been a joy with
a lot of laughs. Thank you for being a part of this with me.
Happy Gardening.
