Myrtle Rust threat

Keep an eye out for Myrtle Rust

You may not have heard of the plant disease Myrtle Rust, but it has the potential to devastate plant stocks in our TRC nurseries and destroy a variety of plants in our parks and gardens (as well as in our private homes).

The August Newsletter is available now with many thanks to Linda, our tireless editor.

Some interesting information about those benighted cabbage moths and water conservation.
