Euroa Garden Club members share plans, tips for spring

Christine John, Euroa Garden Club member Q: What’s your favourite thing about gardening in spring? A: My favourite thing in my spring garden is seeing a new bulb popping through the ground or a new bud or flower bursting forth. Every day brings a new delight. Q: What exciting plans do you have for your own garden this spring? A: My plan for spring is to walk each day around the garden and enjoy the spectacular colour. Later I will dig up some bulbs and replant in another spot to spread the colours around. Q: What’s the one gardening tip you think everyone should know? A: My tip is to enjoy your garden. After the hard work of weeding, fertilizing, mulching and watering, sit back and admire the colours, textures, birds and insects that will come. Q: Who is your local gardening hero, and why? A: Beryl Harris is my local hero. She has a lovely, large garden and is always to give advice, and share her excess bulbs and plants grown from cuttings. ~ Jim and Margaret Brook, Euroa Garden Club members Q: What’s your favourite thing about gardening in spring? A: We enjoy seeing the new growth of the deciduous trees and the flowers after a cold, dismal winter, and removing any old dead branches. Q: What exciting plans do you have for your own garden this spring? A: We love the variety of the camellias and colours that flower through the winter and early spring, and also the various bulbs coming out in flower. Q: What’s the one gardening tip you think everyone should know? A: To be doing something in your garden every week, to make your garden attractive all the year round, with pruning and weeding. Q: Who is your local gardening hero, and why? A: The late Helen Dunnachie, who was so knowledgeable and dedicated to gardening. She was happy to pass on her knowledge to everybody. She was a founding life member of the Euroa Garden Club. Q: Anything else you would like to add? A: We established our garden at Kennedy Street 13 years ago, as we had a large area and we wanted a park-like garden with mostly native plants and shrubs to attract the native birds. We love our vegetable garden.
