Galston District Garden Club could not have been extra excellent. I want to congratulate the garden owners for his or her presentation of their gardens, the gatekeepers for his or her attendance at every gate and others working behind the scene.

In the New Year, we might be looking for new gardens prime open for this event in 2024. If you realize of a backyard or want to open your personal garden the Club would love to hear to from you.

On the eighth November, we had our final assembly till 2nd Wednesday in February. We welcome new members and visitors. Come and benefit from the club’s visitor speakers, garden rambles and the corporate of people with an excited about gardening.

At our recent assembly, we had an attention-grabbing talk about Bromeliads. Alan bought alongside some of his assortment and the members were in a position to purchase a few of his interesting plants. In truth, he had nothing to take home.

For a function plant in a shady or sheltered area in the backyard and even for indoors, you can not look previous the Bromeliad. All arising from the same household (Bromeliaceous) there are a broad range of bromeliads to choose from.

They provide nice foliage color and type to the backyard, can grow in trees and even produce fruit! Easy to grow and propagate they’re a should have for the avid or beginner gardener… They like full sun, common watering, well drained/sandy soil, and are suitable for all climatic zones.

Choose a spot within the garden that receives filtered solar and has well-drained soil. In poorly drained areas, create an elevated mound for free-draining soil or chunky orchid combine. Dig a hole within the prepared mounds the same size as the root ball.

Holding the main physique of the plant with one hand, gently backfill the opening, pushing the soil beneath and around the roots so that the plant is sitting excessive on the mound. If the plant is unstable, you need to use some helps such as stones or pots to carry it upright whereas its roots settle in.

Water in nicely. Ensure that you simply also place some water into the central a part of the plant, as that is the place they attract additional moisture as nicely. Food each spring and autumn with Dynamic lifter soil improver and plant fertiliser by applying around the root zone and water in well.

Our conferences are on the 2nd Wednesday of the Month at 37 Arcadia Rd, Galston the Community Hall at 7.00pm. Our next meeting might be in February 2024. For data concerning our Club please visit our web site: http://www.galstongardenclub.com.au or e-mail: galstongardenclub@gmail.com
