......Hosting a garden club is a collective effort - so I have a few people to thank.
Firstly thanks to Lyn for publicising the event; to Warren and Gareth for the lawn mowing; to Kel for clearing the pond channels; to Annemarie for helping with afternoon tea and to Melissa and Rob for the mulching and gurneying of the paths.
Mel enjoyed a well earned cup of tea and the home made cakes.

Home made cakes, slices and biscuits were quickly devoured |

Baby prams were parked and blankets spread to enjoy the warmth |

The walk finished at the lower pond |
Sadly all the gold fish in the ponds had been depleted by the herons - however, there is always something to learn from Gardening club members. Morrie told me that he has silver perch fish and they would do well in the ponds at Rosewood so I am keen to get some fingerlings and stock the ponds in Spring when the water is warmer.
