Sunday July 21 – fine weather out at the Glenora home of Bert and Mary Jenkins. Twenty-five people showed up and had a great time at the member picnic. Many thanks to the organizers and especially to Bert and Mary for their hospitality.
For those who couldn’t make it, come out to the September meeting and we’ll tell you what you missed!
The County Garden Show on June 8 at the Crystal Palace in Picton, was a great success! The Show was three times larger than the previous year. 2013 saw over 30 Vendors and 7 Not For Profits. Despite Mother Nature not co-operating (showers on and off all day) over 500 visitors attended. Vendors were impressed with the management and organization of the event and a number have already requested space next year. One frequent comment from vendors and visitors alike was how much they had enjoyed themselves.
The Raffle offered over $1300.00 in prizes, with all profits going to various Community ventures. Special Thanks to the over 20 Sponsors who were generous with their offerings!
The Victoria Tea Room was very busy with all tables full most of the day. Visitors were very surprised by the value they received there and the easy companionship of fellow Tea Enthusiasts.
Paul Zammit’s presentation on Container Gardening was a resounding success. A highly animated and knowledgeable speaker at his best.
Mayor Peter Mertens presided over the official opening of the Flower Show. This Show was larger than ever with over 150 entries.
Our Volunteers received a Big Thank You with a special Volunteer Appreciation BBQ a few days after the Event. Frankly, without them, the show could not have gone on!
Many, many pictures of the Garden Show and the Flower Show are posted on our Facebook page.
