Thank you Rotorua exhibiting gardeners for 2025!

Recently we held our first get together, in Pam's garden, for this year's exhibiting gardeners, Sandy Cleland from Palmers and the committee. It was the perfect venue on a mild and sunny autumn afternoon and we were able to sit in the shade of beautiful old English plane trees. After light refreshments the gardeners were updated by Carol Bannister, Sandy and the committee on planning progress to date.

We look forward to hosting another gardener gathering later in the year.
