We are probably now over watering our gardens during the latest hot spell, but there is no rest.

With the mornings and evenings drawing in, we will all be raking leaves before too long.

We held our annual meeting on Australia Day and the following were voted in as officers — president Steve Graham, vice-president Jan Griffiths, treasurer Barb Godden, secretary Marg Mason and committee members Marg Tucker, Melva Wright, Marg Wilson, Sandra Graham, Pat Wakefield, Margo Nankivell, Ken Pearce, Lorraine Polglaze, Julie Hollaway and Sharon Hopkins.

The club recently ventured out on a bus trip to the Numurkah area, visiting Broken Creek Flowers and The Olde Creamery, where we could purchase plants and preserves.

Both gardens sell flowers to local florists. Then, on to Numurkah for lunch.

Our next stop was Bloomin Tuff Nursery, where we could purchase many plants.

We are also organising a three-day bus trip to Warragul in October. All are welcome. For information, phone 5859 0296 or 0499 523 751.

Despite the hot weather, our competition table was still full of blooms, plants, fruit and vegetables. As always, very competitive.
