The euroa gazette
Bright gardens more than just bright

By: MAREE ARNOLD

The Euroa Garden Club has enjoyed a season full of inspiration, learning, and community spirit, with several engaging guest speakers and memorable garden visits.

We were privileged to welcome Dr Danny Green, who gave an informative talk on pruning.

He shared practical techniques while exploring the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches, offering valuable insights to all levels of gardeners.

Beryl Harris gave a heartfelt presentation about her own garden, speaking passionately about the love and care she puts into tending it.

Her personal story resonated deeply with our members.

Jim Brook also inspired us with his knowledge and affection for native plants and camellias, adding another layer of appreciation for diverse garden styles.

Our flower competitions have continued to be well supported and successful, showcasing members’ creativity and dedication.

The club also enjoyed visits to several beautiful gardens.

In Numurkah, we admired a unique garden filled with ornamental structures and diverse plants.

At The Creamery we were treated to stunning dahlias and a delicious lunch.

In Bright we explored the Freeburgh garden nestled in the local hills, offering a landscaped setting with charming surprises.

Two other Bright gardens also impressed with their distinct character.

We thank all garden hosts and our members for their ongoing support and look forward to our next meeting on Friday, 16 May at 1.30pm with Mary Peacock discussing nature mapping, community gardens, and best practice.

Our garden competition will be a specimen - cut or bloom, 3 cut chrysanthemums, and 1 autumn foliage.

See you next meeting.
