Members of Bemboka Garden Club enjoyed a busy evening at the April meeting. Everyone had been asked to bring some cuttings, and there was a great deal of concentrated activity as plants were selected, cuttings made, and potted in an appropriate mix. Late summer rain meant that gardens had been flowering profusely, evidenced by the high quality of competition entries. Diane Crooks and Annette Scanlan took first and second places in the main floral arrangements with some stunning displays.
