Garden Group

February 2020

U3A Garden Group opened their 2020 program with a visit to Rosemary Hebbard's delightfully full and flourishing Encounter Waters garden overlooking the inlet. After marvelling at the range and lushness of plantings, we enjoyed a yummy (unexpected) morning tea put on by Rosemary to welcome the start of our annual program.

We then all trooped off to have a look at Encounter Centre's nursery where Rosemary is a volunteer. Quite a few plants were purchased, making the Centre vollies very happy. Thanks Rosemary !

Next month we are off to re-visit Raywood Nursery so will no doubt come home with more lovely things for our gardens as there's always something unusual to see there. Time to organise our car sharing folks !!

U3A Garden Group

November 2019

Although we expect a November Garden Group to be warm, this month's meet was not the case. However, all rugged up and happy those who bravely attended set off to explore the pathways and wetlands of the interesting Beyond development. We were also able to enjoy sticky beaking at the clever gardens and houses that were on show throughout our travels.

After much wnding of ways we ended up at the delightful architectural garden of member Lorraine, across the road in Hayborough, where a welcome sit down and a cuppa awaited. Many thanks to Lorraine for orgainising our November meet, December's gather is our last before enrolment rolls arounds, and we will be at Margaret's Goolwa garden for a shared lunch to think and plan for next year's program.

Thanks to everyone for being part of this great group !

U3A Garden Group Meet

October 2019

A windy but sunny day greeted the Garden Groupers to Nan Mann’s gorgeous property with its well tended garden in Hindmarsh Valley. Following a welcome cuppa and some background from Nan, gardeners happily wandered the extensive grounds, while admiring the wonderful views from all directions and the obvious hard work put into upkeep. Thanks Nan for your hospitality and a lovely morning.
