   Autumn Colour & Winter Activity   

 

Twenty-four Maples (lipstick pink) flank the entry driveway - view from church front verandah

 

Winter Maintenance on our Memorial Rose Garden

The memorial rose garden has had huge amounts of deciduous leaves from the Maples removed - as roses can get fungal diseases - unlike most other shrubs. They have been sprayed, ready to rest until pruning and feeding in August. Two new bush fragrant roses “Showpiece Champagne” and “Valencia” have been planted where others had died.

 

 

 Indigenous Garden   

 

At the last meeting, the reconciliation group  agreed to "adopt" a path in the indigenous section of Rotary Park in Warragul. 

The name of the path is "Goanna" and this should be available after further planting of the garden beds in May.

 By adopting the path the reconciliation group commit to keeping the path and adjacent garden beds weed free. 

If you would like to be part of the group, give Dave Morison or Eric Smith a call.

More information as the date gets closer.

Dedication of Model Railway
