24.01.2022 How do you stop birds, possums, rats, mice, or other things from destruction of plants at home? This is some defensive netting recently added after finding a bunch of my newly planted Crassulas broken and out of their pots. Please share photos of plant self defence solutions.

18.01.2022 How good is it to finally be able to travel further than 25km! Yay for double donut days! I have really missed seeing everyone and can’t wait until we can meet back at the hall. Just a reminder to everyone that your membership card grants you 10% of plants at collectors corner, had a lovely catch up today with Elizabeth and John Harry Roewer, and randomly bumped into Milan. Stock is low on Mondays but I have been told later in the week they should have more plants available for sale. Pro tip book a table in advance if you want to sit down at the cafe for lunch or coffee.
