Saturday August 25
2007 was a great day out in the Garden,

 The day
started as usual with a bird walk, this year led by local birdos Joan
Schwennesen & Brian Parton. (That's "Dolly" on the left
above - recognisable by his unique headgear). To the right, Ross &
Daniel Begent discuss warblers and gerygones with Joan.

Something
for everyone - on the left, guest speaker Andrew Burnside from Cedar Hills
Flowers & Foliage on the Sunshine
Coast spoke about growing native plants for the floriculture industry, and

newest attraction.

Once
again, a good lunch was a feature of the day - left, Kylie McLean of

Excellent
musical entertainment was
provided during the lunch break by Miles musos 40Zone, and at other times by
a succession of enthusiasts trying their style on our thongaphone!

The
sandpit is a new attraction, and an obvious success. Next attraction for the
littlies will be the "secret garden" -- just as soon as we can
grow the plants for it!
Many
visitors enjoyed seeing the Garden with Living Collection Manager, Gill Kidd
- to share some of their experiences, go to "What's
flowering in August" |
