Ballarat has had a long, cold, wet winter this year. According to the Bureau of Meterology, we have had in excess of 150 mm and August is not over yet. Lake Wendouree is looking full at last and hopefully water reserves have improved significantly all over the region.
The weather has put a bit of a damper (so to speak) on visiting the garden, but behind the scenes, folks have been orgainising a fundraiser and preparing for the seedling propagation workshop with John Ditchburn on this Sunday. We can also look forward to being one of the participants in the Ballarat Gardens in spring 2010 event. We have been listed as inspirational in the adverstising brochure, so let's hope we all get inspired to pitch in and do our spring planting as soon as we see a bit sun. See you soon at the working bee coming up.
