RAIN AND MORE RAIN<br />
Girgarre <strong>Gazette</strong> September pg 5<br />
The continuing wet weather is putting paid to the best<br />
laid plans of the Gargarro Gardens volunteers. The<br />
grounds are not drying out enough between rain<br />
events. It has become increasingly difficult to complete<br />
the plantings and plan for an opening ceremony, Chair<br />
of the Gargarro Gardens Committee, Doc. McDonald<br />
said. “The weather is still uncertain and the ground so<br />
sodden I am reluctant to set a date for the opening until<br />
further notice. It is disappointing, but the plantings<br />
are continuing when ever the weather allows.” he said.<br />
In the meantime, there was a window of opportunity in<br />
September when seventeen qualified landscape gardeners, all staff members of Taylor, Cullity, Lethlean (TCL), the<br />
design architects for the Gargarro complex, came from Melbourne to assist the locals with the plantings. The group<br />
included Director, Scott Adams and the Office Manager Doreen Heuer (pictured in the red boots, purchased especially<br />
for the occasion). TCL Associate, Lucas Dean, liaison for the Gargarro design, and local volunteers in John<br />
Warde, Rob and Lyn Axen directed proceedings and the Friends of Gargarro provided a BBQ lunch.<br />
