GARDEN CLUB NEWS
On 28th October the Garden Club had a most successful garden visit to two villas. A total of 21 members attended. The villa of Don and Lois Willet (Villa 18) gave us all an example of how planning and precision can result in a beautifully laid out garden.
Don and Lois really care for their plants and the display was outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my phone with me (world’s worst mobile phone user) so I haven’t any photos of this beautiful garden to show you.
Don revealed behind one of his garage roll-a-doors a compact and well
organised storage for garden tolls and chemicals. Our thanks go to Don and Lois
for allowing us to view their garden.
From one end of the resort to the other where Sue and Bob MacDonald showed us their garden.
Instead of accepting the traditional Palm Lake layout of the back garden, Sue
and Bob have used up some lawn space to plant a deeper garden complete with
quirky sculptures.

The lawn is
carefully maintained by Bob and was beautifully manicured for our visit.
Again, our
thanks go to Bob and Sue for allowing us to view their pride and joy.
