Tuesday Talks

This year we have planned our Tuesday Talks for the whole year. We have invited along guest speakers as well as organizing a couple of bus trips. We will be going to the Tulip Gardens on the federal highway, where we will have a talk by one of the creators of the gardens as well as morning tea. We have organized a trip to the Arboretum where we will have a talk by the curator Adam Burgess. We will give you more information closer to the dates for bookings. We also have the amazing Joan Talent from Ainslie coming in to give a talk on her garden. Join us to listen to Arboriculturist, Steve from Skyline Trees giving a talk on caring and maintaining trees, as well as Sherry McArdle- Engish from Mt Majura Truffle Farm talking about the amazing work that they have done over the last couple of years on the farm. We have a jam packed year for you. Don’t forget that if you bring along a friend you will receive a $5 gift voucher to spend in the nursery.
