The Coleambally Garden Club held its first meeting for 2022 on March 5.
A great day was had by the 19 members who attended Emily Laurie’s three year-old garden at Beelbangera. Members were also treated to a delicious afternoon tea.
April was also another great day out, visiting a lovely old home in Finley believed to be built in 1900.
The gardens of this magnificent home have been lovingly established over the past 16 years.
After enjoying a BYO picnic lunch in the garden, members visited Kalangadoo Nursery.
A huge thank you to the hosts for welcoming members to their gardens.
