The October Newsletter has been uploaded to the site now and members can find it in the Newsletter Archives after logging in.

This month Linda talks about thoughtful planting. This is an area not often thought about but it a valuable part of gardening! Overplanting and lack of variety can result if not enough thought is applied to our green thumb endeavours.

There is a section on "square foot gardening", wildlife-friendly gardening and a recipe for some intriguing Rosemary biscuits.
