Rotarian Judy Coultas attended our AUCTION DINNER on 18 February and on the evening was the successful bidder to have a team of gardening enthusiasts come and work in her home garden.
Rotarians Carolyn Such, Kerry Margalit, Caryl Coulthard and Hanne Falkiner formed the team that came to transmogrify Judy & Michael's garden.
Judy has written to the Members of the Garden Team to express her thanks and amazement, as follows:
What an incredible job you all did yesterday in our garden. Six hours of hard toil in a garden seriously out of control... and your thoughtfulness in bringing plants, creating a special space seen from the balcon, getting stubborn weeds from trick places, and making do with rustic garden equipment.
I loved the way that you just got on with the job and left me to tackle several personal matters.
I'm sorry not to have been more supportive ... your energy was quite overwhelming and I never expected the result to be so transforming when I first bid at auction for the garden ream.
Michael has really enjoyed walking around, so a very big thank you.
When the virus is over, I would love you all to come back to enjoy the space with me. Let's hope that is not too far away but in the meantime I will acquire wood chips for mulch, water the new plants in and try and keep the weeds under control.
With sincere thanks for all that you did, well over and above your original commitment.
