John Viska's Open Garden
Thanks to John for giving us the opportunity to promote AGHS and donating his share of the gate takings to the branch, and to members who helped. We have recently taken delivery of a handsome AGHS pull up banner purchased with the proceeds of last year's Open Garden weekend.
New Members
A warm welcome to Gay Dutton, Sara Robinson, Pamela Duckworth and to Rene Gardiner who has moved from Victoria. We look forward to meeting you at a function soon.
September 2008
The joint function with Heritage Roses in Australia Margaret Moore's garden 55 Stocker Rd, Roleystone took place on Sunday 21st September. The fruit tree blossom in the area was magnificent. The warm hospitality of Margaret and Heritage Roses people more than compensated for the inclement weather, and our own John Viska and others were on hand to name some lovely old plants which Margaret had rescued from other gardens being left by friends when moving houses in the country.
Some of us drove to Bob Melville’s rose nursery nearby to soak up some warmth in the café and enjoy the tulip display overlooking his wonderful nursery.
