For our December 2012 Christmas party gathering, The Willow
Glen Garden Club ventured into the dusty hills of Mayfield, where we discovered
a hidden gem. “Cullgurn”, a picture perfect garden that has been intelligently designed
by owners Jackie & Doug over the 8 years they have lived on the property
full time.

It was time to begin our meeting where we were lucky enough
to be joined by some of the members from the ‘Windellama Garden Club’. Gathered
amidst festive table decorations and plates of tempting foods, it seemed that the
weeds (which have a tendency to grow higher than ourselves) were the most
common problem being faced by members through December, some people were
finding that zucchinis may need to be helped along by hand pollination if there
is a lack of bees in the area. We also discussed bringing in leaves/parts of
diseased plants for diagnosis in sealed plastic bags.

We finished up the formalities and started up the annual Christmas
barbeque, a few lucky members nabbing the prize seats beneath the coolness of
the wisteria draped pergola to eat their lunch.

A day of festive cheer was had by all and we left as always,
feeling full of good food and good ideas to bring to our own gardens.
