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.
