Warren and Gareth helped to organise a whole group of friends and neighbours to help with the weeding and clearing up of the overgrown garden. The working bee included :Dean & Tim - Michelle - Anthony, Nicole and Rose - John & Rex - and Lae. New friendships were forged as everyone mucked in and showed their individual and team strengths. Patience is important in order to discover some of Rosewood’s buried treasures such as seasonal bulbs – so it was seen as important not to use weedicide at first but to have a small army equipped with wheelbarrows, chain-saws, garden forks, shovels, matics and hand trowels to pull out weeds, trim and prune overgrown plants. Also gloves were so important for pulling out prickly weeds and sensible sunscreen to ward off the rays of the sun – ouch!
A big thanks to Warren and Gareth for organising the workers who included -Peter and Alec who were holidaying from Scotland; Daniel from Ethiopia who is studying here, Denis and Tim from Nerang; Delvae from Beechmont..my nephews and niece Leo, Sigi and Hope
