invasion of the garden club


42 Garden Club members packed into our garage for morning tea, lunch and a meeting. I gave them a talk about how we've been "ungardening" then let them loose with a challenge to discover all of Beechwood's 16 seats - some of them did, even seat 16 which requires climbing up the dune.

Joy, Joyce, Betty, and Gayle made it to seat 16

The "ungardening" concept falls down when you find the tunnel house with peas nearly ready for picking, tomato plants heading for the sky and strawberries ripe in their boxes.

The club walked next door to look at Angela's immaculate new garden then on up the road to Widdisons' where Jean has made a magnificent seaside garden with many unusual native plants both on the roadside and into the creek that runs between their house and the sea.

Everyone seemed most impressed with their day at Cape Douglas and one brave soul (Dot) even had a paddle in the sea. 
Meanwhile David went out in his boat and once they'd gone returned with 19 lovely garfish.
