As many of us are using this time to experiment with growing vegetables at home, please click on the images below from the Home Gardening Series for interesting information.

One no longer has to wonder what Adam and Eve experienced in the Garden of Eden when one experiences Simone Taylor's garden. What a beauty!
There are two parts to the entry, one as you walk up a lovely stone staircase where you are greeted by a mix of robust and delicate plants reaching out as if to say "Welcome". The second is a gentle meander to an arbor adorned with a beautiful flowering vine and a sign laying claim to the space beyond - Simone's Garden. I am sure that everyone that visits this garden would wish it were their name on the sign.
The first meeting of the year was held at the beautiful home of Dr. Ross Millar and his lovely wife, Sharon. It really was such a treat to wander in the garden and wonder at the hillside challenges. Good job Millars!
We were blessed with not just an amazing collection of less common plants but with a little show starring an aviary of winged friends and a very curious (maybe hungry) feline foe. Click for more pics of Sharon's garden.
A great big thank you to Damian Castagne for hosting the Garden Club of Trinidad for this November meeting. The garden of his famed gardener sister June, is simply beautiful, the reputation of which well preceded the meeting. This, I'm sure, played a part in us having a large turnout for a lovely meeting. It was lovely to see so many avid gardeners gathered to enjoy the garden and the company of each other.
Dr Gerard Fardan had a talk about a useful "byproduct" of gardening - composting. He was able to convey the usefulness and the fun of composting to those present. Click here for more pics of Damien's garden.
