Forbes Horticultural Society and Garden Club Christmas lunch was our last event for 2018.
A great day out was given by two garden owners in Orange with the members supplying morning tea which was very enjoyable.
The two gardens we visited were very different.
Pauline Jenkins, 88, had a huge garden, one where she was very hands on, a great credit to her.
The other was Cr Russell and Diane Turner was large and had a beautiful array of roses, flowers as big as small plates among huge lawns, shrubs and trees.
Once again, it was a great day out.
Looking ahead to our new year activities, Forbes Horticultural Society and Garden Club will hold their annual general meeting at the Northside Chapel, in Johnson Street, Forbes next Tuesday, February 26, 2019, meeting to start at 1.30pm.
