Friends of the Salvia Garden

For those who might have an hour or two free during the week, who would  enjoy helping to  Work in the Garden.
The gardens need maintaining and we need your help to keep them flowering and looking good for all  who walk through.
If you can spare  some time, it would really be appreciated – many hands make light work etc..
A chance for you to identify those Salvias in your garden and take home lots of cutting material.
Tea/coffee will be provided. Bring a plate to share for lunch.
Bring a hat, water, a chair, gloves and what ever tools you wish to use, a tarp or container for offcuts and of course a large plastic bag for those cuttings.
Please see the map for directions. Phone Lyndi 98034534 if coming.
All welcome
