September 2019

As the last few beds will be finished by the wonderful Saturday volunteers our thoughts turn to the next jobs. Weeding is an enormous, ongoing job followed closely by feeding & mulching in the lead up to the STATE ROSE & GARDEN SHOW 2019.

Glorious crimson new growth on the roses that were pruned first in Petal B. Taken 4th Sept.

Bev & Cheryl helping out the Park Rangers who collect all of our cuttings and dispose of them. THANK YOU from all of us.

WEEDING (no-one likes it!) is the next important job to tackle. Hopefully the heavy duty weeder will make it a lot easier. Here's hoping!!!

The Fairy Wrens are hard at work too...eating!!

Delightful view of a male Fairy Wren in all his glorious colour. Photo by Sue.

We certainly generate lots of rose cuttings from each bed we prune.
