SUNDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 10.00AM TO 12.00PM
Graham and I would like to welcome BLF Members & Guests to visit our garden.
I am a Moon Gardener and try to follow the different phases of the Moon to get all my Garden Tasks done I enjoy the principles of this Age Old System of Farming, Fishing and Gardening. I also believe in growing Companion Plants and Beneficial Insect Plants throughout my garden. The Native Bees feel very much at home here with the Blue Tongues and other Native Marsupials.
I am an Old Fashioned Gardener though I am beginning to use more modern techniques as I progress with my Vegetable Garden. I grow many of my Plants, Fruit Trees and Kitchen Garden Herbs in Terracotta Pots. It works for me. I also grow Many Salvias, Cottage Plants and Roses. You will find many Vegetables and Herbs growing in with the Roses and in the Cottage Garden.
We have a little Parking in the yard, though there is plenty of Street Parking. The Terrain is mostly flat and even, though there is a path that has a few ups and downs, the result of tree roots that would like to live inside with us.
It has proved popular for some of our members to go and share a meal nearby after the GV. I am in the process of enquiring about going for lunch to the very popular Vietnamese Restaurant in Inala. You would possibly be able to visit the Asian Market whilst there. It is so popular; I hear the food is excellent and not too badly priced.
Children welcome but must be supervised by parents at all times.
Please bring a small plate of food or drink to share and any plants, produce or seed that you would like to share, swap or sell.
It is always a good idea to bring along a chair as we do sometimes have more visitors than chairs available at GV gardens.
RSVP required so that the address can be sent to you closer to the date. The email address you nominated when you joined will be used. Please update this if it has changed.
Late attendees welcome. Message Dianne or phone 0407691485 on the day for the address.

Diane and Graham, thanks for your hospitality yesterday, it was a great garden visit. Your garden is a wonderful example of what can be done on a typical suburban sized block, if you are prepared to work hard. What was also very impressive was the planning that Dianne does to provide the optimum growing conditions for each individual planting. Thanks everyone for your friendliness and the great food on offer it was also good to see newcomers there.
Glad it was such a success and very sorry to have missed it.
Thanks Sophie, they weren't nasturtums she came here with, must be the violas, will check on line to make sure before I eat any of them.
GREAT GV! I am hastling My Rozie to do the pix. Garden is amazing Dianne!
Hi Dianne, Hope you can help - Chris said Sophie had cuttings on the table which had small flowers on it - do you know what it was and also how you get it to strike (potting mix or water?)
Still not feeling the best today so won't be able to make it. Hope you are feeling better than I do Dianne and the weather is okay round your way.
Always add photos using the "From my computer" option, even if you are on a mobile phone or other device.

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
