And so the month of May (what we now call Botanic Gardens’ month) has drawn to a close and what a fantastic time it has been! With the four BGANZ webinars creating a great little adventure for me, to determine each week exactly where I would be and, if I had appropriate access in order to host the webinar online. Knock knock! It is June and the winter season for those of us in the south and the growing season for those of us further north. Growing where we are, with what we have got, is always a joy as we shift gears in the garden. | | |
