The Eastern Regional Library Show 26th March 2008

Library staff members Lesley Conway and Pia Butcher run a radio show each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm on Eastern FM 98.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Tune in next Wednesday for a great show.

On Wednesday's show

The rain of the last two days has been welcomed by everyone, not least the gardeners in our midst. This is a good time to remind you that there are two garden groups operating out of Eastern Regional Libraries branches ... Growers and Weeders at Mooroolbark on the fourth Wednesday of the month and Gully Gardeners at Ferntree Gully on the first Wednesday of the month. Each group is free to join, swap ideas and cuttings over afternoon tea, and host regular speakers and garden visits. In fact Gully Gardeners will be visiting Cloudehill Garden and Nursery on Mt Dandenong next month, which should be a very enjoyable outing.

In fact, if you check a copy of Australia's Open Garden Scheme 2007-08, available through our libraries, you will find many gardens which are exciting to visit now that autumn colours are coming into their own.

If you don't want to go further than your lounge room for inspiration, check out the complete box set of Gardening Australia on dvd. Produced in 2007, it is a very up-to-date and comprehensive range of gardening topics from your favourite presenters.
