THANK YOU
The gardens have survived over the holidays thanks to the work of Don Cottee, Rick Lethlean and Vaughan Griffiths who put in place the watering system for the front garden. Don undertook the electrical work, and Rick & Vaughan looked after the pump and watering system. Their input was really appreciated. Thank you also to the people on the watering roster who ensured the system was used so effectivelyWe have a new trellis fence around the tank in the Stepping Stone Garden. This will protect the pumping system so the water can be used for the school toilets. Thank you so much to Wayne Geddes who undertook this work for us during the holidays. It really
finishes off the Stepping Stone Garden . The fence will be stained and pretty soon we will have some climbing plants growing on it.
