BLUESKIN GARDEN CLUB
By Lynnaire Johnston
The weather over the past month has been less than summery as we all know, but that hasn’t stopped plants – or weeds! – from growing at enormous rates. It just means that plants requiring sun for growth or ripening are well behind their usual development for this time of year. There’s not much we can do about the near continual fog and grey skies except enjoy what is managing to grow in our gardens.
To that end, the Blueskin Garden Club’s first foray of the year is a tour of Valerie and Mike Fay's hillside property, with particular focus on the vegetable garden, at 827 Mount Cargill Road, Waitati. This will be held on Thursday February 11 at 7pm. Thanks to all the rain, the wearing of appropriate clothing and footwear is strongly recommended.
The event will also include a presentation by Val on her work at the Orokonui Eco-sanctuary. This will be followed by a shared supper and meeting to plan the next few month's activities, which will be held at Margaret Meder’s Doctor’s Point Rd home.
