Meeting of May '19 (La Vega Estate)

On Sunday 26th May, the Garden Club and friends traveled by maxi taxi to visit Bert Manhin's La Vega Estate and Garden Centre in Gran Couva.

La Vega Estate is a combination of Plant Nursery, Nature Park and Pool Facility. The Garden Centre has a wide range of plants, including ornamentals, fruit trees, herbs and vegetables, most of which are produced in the green houses at La Vega.

Bert took everyone on a tour of the estate and pointed out many exotic fruit trees, ornamental plants and local versions of foreign vegetables. He cultivates a wide assortment of fruit trees from around the world some of which include rambutan, durian, longan, mangoes, sugar apples, giant peeway and dongs, sweet passion fruit, to name a few.

Sincere thanks Bert for a very enjoyable and informative day. We highly recommend a visit to your La Vega. Click here to see more pics of the La Vega Estate and Garden Centre.

Meeting of April '19 (Chancy Moll)

Members and their guests thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Peter and Chancy Moll's San Antonio Farms on Saturday 13th April. Chancy gave a very informative talk on the varied flowering plants and shrubs as she led everyone through her beautiful garden. From the photos one can attest to the vast number of plants at San Antonio, from the exotic heliconias to the more common crotons. Sincere thanks to Peter and Chancy for a delightful afternoon.

Meeting of March '19 (Sharon Khan)

Saturday 16th March was a perfect afternoon for a garden meeting, sunny and with a constant breeze. Sharon has a lovely colourful garden that faces the river in Westmoorings. Very spacious and obviously carefully planned and landscaped. Each bed was manicured to perfection with healthy shrubs and flowering plants.

Many thanks Sharon for sharing your garden with us. Click here to see more pics of Sharon Khan's Garden

Meeting of February '19 (Betsy Herrera)

Saturday 16th February was a bright sunny afternoon, perfect for garden club members and their guests to enjoy Betsy 's large expanse of garden. There were lovely healthy shrubs and flowers, not to mention her immaculate lawn. An unusual Kumquat tree, still relatively young so not in flower nor bearing fruit but beautifully grown and the centre of attention.

Many thanks Betsy for a most enjoyable afternoon. Click here to see more pics of Betsy Herrera's garden
