This time last Friday, I was preparing for what was once again, a spectacular sunset welcome to the St Lawrence Wetlands Weekend. Such a fantastic evening as people gathered after they had set up their campers, caravans, or tents and then settled in for the evening’s entertainment, the most spectacular part of which gets put on by the wetland setting and the setting sun.

Jane finds an incredible fern collection, Costa joins a dedicated community of composters, Clarence explores a native cliff top garden, Millie does a strategic garden refresh, Josh plants deciduous plants for winter warming and summer cooling and Sophie shares tips on how to protect plants from the wind.
