It was a change to the usual venue at the Finley RS Club.
All commented on what an enjoyable afternoon they had in the sunshine, with beautiful garden surrounds.
Noelene and Gil relocated to Cobram after leaving their much-loved farm just out of Berrigan.
Their three year-old garden is on a half acre block, and is still a work in progress out the back.
They are forming a vegetable garden, which is keeping them busy.
Lush green lawns and delightful standard roses make a beautiful setting for their lovely home - a lovely setting for the meeting and delicious afternoon tea provided by the members.
The next meeting will be held on Monday, June 1, will once again be held at the RS Club. It starts at 2pm and new members are always welcome to attend.
The usual competitions will be held, there will be a demonstration on how to present flowers for judging.
All members are asked to bring flowers from their garden for the demo.
