Subject: Visit to Jackie French's Garden in Braidwood



Hi Everyone

 

 

 

When:                                       Sunday, 26th November 2006.

 

Time:                                        Either 10.00 - 1.00 p.m. or
2.00 p.m. - 5.00 p.m.

 

Cost per Adult:                        $55.00 including morning or afternoon
tea.

 

 

 

I spoke to Jackie French's agent and she has informed me that they will be
having another open garden at Braidwood in November.  The open garden in
April this year was cancelled due to really unavoidably dry weather.  This
is very special as she only opens her garden once or twice a year at the
most.

 

 

Jackie's garden is about two hours from Canberra or Goulburn.

 

 

Some of the gardening topics that will run are 

 

*	Almost self sufficiency - how to grow just about everything in your
backyard 

*	Cleopatra's deodorant, Queen Victoria Floor Polish and Jackie's
favourite perfume - how to make just about everything good at home. 

*	Why fruit fly love ginger beer and other simple pest control
techniques 

*	Controlling weeds with cunning and no herbicides. 

*	Learn how to grow fruit in a small area and a challenging climate
including avocadoes, bush tucker, coffee, tea cinnamon and over 100 apple
varieties and hundreds of herbs. 

 

The topics will however depend on what the agent will tell us if we book.

 

Jackie's garden welcomes the wildlife such as wallabies to wombats, fruit
bats and over 100 species of birds

 

If you would like to come along to this open garden in November can you
please notify me by the end of June or earlier if possible so that I can
work out who would like to come or not.

 

 

 

Happy Gardening

 

 

 

Heike Roberts:-)
