STUARTS Point and District Garden Club members enjoyed a “Friendship Day” with similar groups on the morning of Wednesday 30 April.
The local and regional clubs who attended are all associated with Garden Clubs of Australia Inc, the motto for which is ‘Friendship Through Gardening’.
To mark the “Friendship Day”, a luncheon was held at the highly-rated Hot Myrtle Kitchen restaurant at Grassy Head.
Stuarts Point and District Garden Club President Denise O’Connor said the day celebrated “companionship and shared horticultural knowledge”.
Visiting clubs included South West Rocks, Talarm and Nambucca Valley, and all enjoyed the cuisine after a leisurely ramble through the on-site gardens nestled on the eastern side of Yarrahapinni Mountain.
Attendees took home an assortment of raffle prizes, most of which were sourced locally.
With the lunch and conversation concluded, all were invited to the property next door, which offered a luscious mix of formal and tropical plantings and stunning ocean views.
The day continued with the ever-popular ‘trading table’, a feature of each garden club event, another garden tour, and an impressive afternoon tea.
