25.01.2022 What a coincidence. In our Club's newsletter I did a section on Bougainvillea and said what a well informed and great teacher Juan Andrade was. I watched him ...on Ryan Neils Mirai and Ryan said he thought he was one of the very most experienced people when it came to Bougies and tropicals. The next thing I see is that Juan will be in Sydney in May. I don't know if there are any vacancies in his workshops but it sure would be a real treat to see him working. If you haven't booked, time is running out. See more

18.01.2022 Work is underway on a project which is breathing new life into the beautiful fallen White Oak (Quercus alba) on Oak Lawn at Melbourne Gardens. Rather than remov...ing the remains of the fallen tree, our team are hard at work transforming it into a special new meeting place. The limbs will be arranged radially around the stump, to form seating, and native grasses and daffodils will emerge from garden beds surrounding the tree. Approaching the complex woodworking elements of the project, the team were recently visited by volunteers and teachers from the Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking, who shared their skills. We can't wait for you to enjoy the meeting place when it's completed!

09.01.2022 The tallest tree in Wales had been damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, but a better solution was found. Natural Resource Wales, which was in cha...rge of the site, ordered artist O ' Rourke to cut down the tree. He cameup with the concept of carving what the tree stump and trunk into a giant hand - to symbolise the tree's last attempt to reach the sky. Once completed, the sculpture was coated with tung oil, a natural vegetable oil safe for the closeness of the riverways. It’s called THE GIANT HAND OF VYRNWY Sculptor Simon O ' Rourke Height: 15,25 meters #woodcarving #thegianthand #thegianthandofvyrnwy #trees #wales #nature #lovetrees #earthmonk
