Home This Gardening Group was started in May 2009 with the intention of visiting members and public gardens and discussing relevant topics.  

Typical topics discussed are
pros and cons of organic gardening, pest and weed control techniques, climate change, gardening for the credit crunch, etc.

Other discussion topics will be wine making, and techniques, such as bottling, freezing, etc that are successful for dealing with excess produce.

At each meeting members describe their current activities in the garden and discuss plants being grown, pests encountered, techniques and supplies used, and their successes and failures.


Members will also share seeds, cuttings and coordinate the purchase of seeds and plants.









Meetings normally held:
Second Monday of month starting at 10 am.



Next meeting:
Monday 20th February, 2012.

Venue:
Mike and Paula's house, Newtown.

Please note, there will be no meeting in January.
