August 2022 garden News

 

Not much to say about August as we had no garden presentations and one bus trip.

The Sub Tropical Garden Club came here from the Sunshine Coast and they were all plant lovers who really enjoyed the garden. This club is all that is left of ‘The Tropical Foliage and Garden Society’ which used to be quite active a few years ago until petering out some years ago. It was a shame as they produced some really good and informative information.

It was a bit of a worry as I had mislaid the information about their visit so we only found out a couple of days prior to them coming.

What a rush to get ready but we did it and the garden was looking great for our visitors.

I suppose the biggest job of the month was to take my Amorphophallus out of the shed where they have been stored dry over winter and to repot them.

Judy has started to repot the Caladiums and we are using so much potting mix that we have been twice to Centenary Landscapes to purchase one metre of their platinum mix each time.

We have been down to Jacobs Well a few times to see our gardening friend who is not well and always bring her some home cooked food and a bundle of books to read.

Otherwise it’s all been about maintaining the garden.
