Garden club plans year ahead

The Killcare Heights Garden Club has reported a near break-even financial result for 2012 during which a donation of $500 was made to the Killcare-Wagstaffe Rural Fire Brigade in appreciation of its service in protecting many of the club members' gardens during October's bushfires.

In a broad program planned for this year, during which meetings will be generally held on the second Monday of the month, the agenda will include visits to gardens in the area with gardening identities addressing gatherings.

There will also be travels to interesting gardens further afield, with the May meeting to be staged at the Auburn Botanical Gardens, the August meeting to be held at the Cumberland State Forest and, in October when wildflowers are at their peak, the club will visit the St Ives Wildflower Gardens.

September will feature a three day trip to Maitland Flower Festival and other gardens of historical significance in the Hunter region.

Any person interested in joining the Killcare Heights Garden Club is invited to contact Brent Walker on 0412 411 496.
