For information about our September meeting which will be a plant stall at the annual CWA Trash and Treasure on 20 September and the proposed trip to the Goulburn Spring Garden Festival for our Garden Club event on October 18th., click here. There is also information about the World Granny Square competition.

Our speaker for this meeting was Cristine Gascoyne, who gave a presentation about her Gowrie garden, which she has developed over 20 years. It has been open as part of the Canberra Open Garden scheme.

This meeting, Katrina told us all about Springs Pond Flower Farm, which she and her husband band have recently established at Mt Fairy using regenerative and chemical free growing methods. This is a micro farm, providing fresh flowers. To the Bungendore region. She also gave us a hands-on workshop on dividing dahlia tubers, which we took home and are looking forward to planting once the last frosts are (we hope) gone – probably late October.

Note from the meeting, including information about the No Dig Garden – also known as theLayered or Lasagne method of gardening. This is a good way of starting a garden in the Bungendore region, given that you can establish a garden on concrete, using thes method. So good for much of this region, and good for under trees.

Teresa gave us a presentation on ‘Leeping a Worm Farm’ with information about setting it up and keeping it going – an excellent addition to your gardening  strategy.. Click here.

Motivated by Attila’s dislike of wind, (and this is a windy place)) the garden is divided into ‘rooms’ with protective hedges with areas that are serene and delightful. Read more.
