Following on from the successful launch of Australia's inaugural National Gardening Week last March, there are a wide range of events to be held in October. This year the focus will still be on Garden Clubs of Australia affiliates to celebrate the event but the president will also be working on promoting the idea to schools. He plans to meet with his local state member of parliament and is hopeful a letter will be sent to all NSW schools advising them of NGW. He also hopes to get a similar letter in the hands of the Federal minister.

14-18 October: Garden Clubs of Australia 2019 Convention - Convicts, Community and Coral. From coast to coast
subtropical Norfolk Island features rolling green hill sides, quaint winding roads to explore and behind the hedges treasure troves of beautiful gardens that range from hibiscus fringed palm and croton beauties, to those featuring conventional roses and day lilies, and original convict style gardens and buildings from the Georgian era. Norfolk Island is located almost mid-distance between the Australian mainland and New Zealand and it is this isolation that has resulted in it being an incredible destination for anyone interested in gardening.
