Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and
New Year catching up with family and friends.
We certainly have seen some incredible weather for the start of this
year. The poor gardeners in Queensland are having trouble finding their
gardens under all the water while our gardens are needing more water
to keep them alive during a heat wave.
I spoke to a lady in Melbourne who has her favourite flower, the Gardenia,
all around her formal garden. They are usually covered in flowers
throughout summer, but the continuous rain has caused the flowers to
spoil and drop. As gardeners, this year has not started off as we had hoped for many of us.
The heat for me has highlighted the plants that are not getting enough water. As I am having trouble with
my husband seeing things MY WAY by putting another join in our reticulation, I have decided to plant a
new section of my now waterless garden. This will house succulents and anything else of this nature I can
find that will go with roses and a cottage garden.
Have you a problem area, or another sort of project in the garden for 2024? This year at Gardeners’ Circle,
we have some great events, interesting speakers and a diverse range of pop-up stalls, so I hope you
are all feeling refreshed and excited to join me at our very informative meetings.
We NEED A SECRETARY as this is a vital part of the organization so, please all of you, please give this position
due consideration.
