Today was hydrangea pruning day. We have quite a few in the valley and also some big ones in the Andy Johnson Rest Area so it’s no easy task. Thanks MonVols!
We found some crane flies also loving our hydrangeas 🤪🪰

We need volunteers during the period 3rd October to 8th November to assist in the tea room or on the information booth. Do one shift or many!

With all eyes on Welcome Weeks (Oct 3 to Nov 8 ) this week the MonVols concentrated on tidying up the ornamental lawn and Presidents’ Row. Feature trees were weeded and mulched using woodchip generated from previous cleanups. The rhodos in Presidents’ Row (Julia Hanley’s Our Gem and Alan Lush’s President Roosevelt) are in flower and looking good!

Another successful AGM was held this afternoon. All positions filled and committee elected. Our President John Anning talked the attending members through some important financial decisions which had to be made and then we heard from John and committee member Julie about their visit to the Dandenong Botanic Garden in Olinda.

And of course, the meeting concluded with a delicious afternoon tea!
