"Green Fingers!"

The Combined Probus Club of Wheelers Hill Inc. Gardening Group meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 2pm at the Lum Reserve Tennis Clubhouse. A small charge of just $2 per head per meeting covers for hire of the rooms and refreshments.

Activity Co-ordinator, Allan McKean, leads discussions at the Club's Gardening Group monthly meeting. Topics discussed vary according to the season or may be any gardening topic of general or current interest. The 'question and answer' sessions are always popular and members are encouraged to bring along seedlings, plants and bulbs etc. to exchange. Occasionally we visit gardens in season around the city.

Handy gardening Tips and Ideas and useful gardening web sites are listed below. Guest speakers are invited to present on specialised topics.
