Upcoming Events August 2015

We still have a number of native tubestock that need to be planted (including some orchids), and at this time of year there is also the usual weeding.  A special focus this month will be making our street fronts and entrances as weed-free and appealing as possible.  There is also our colourful winter flowers and wildlife to discover!
