Please plan to attend one or all of these to clean up. Bring rakes, digging tools, clippers and kneelers etc. The gardens need raking, bushes need trimming, the pathways needs to be maintained by cutting back the bushes.
Our Speaker for the evening was Jenny Boccardo who did a presentation on gardening for birds and butterflies. Members painted many lovely birdhouses while Jenny spoke about how to plant native species and provide cover, water and plants to feed and nourish the birds and butterflies we love to see in our gardens.
Next month Jim White and his wife will share with us the gardens they visited on their trip to Disneyland.
