Time for 'Green Thumbs' to get dirty
One of a variety of regular activities the Friends of the Gardens group participate in.
The Garden Friends will be planting in the Heritage Garden at their first Planting Bee for 2011 on Saturday March 26.
This is a great opportunity to come along and learn more about the types of plants that were possibly planted by Early Mackay Settlers. The Heritage Gardens within the Botanic Gardens are small representations of Historical Gardens in and around Mackay. Planting Bees also offers all budding green thumbs a chance to get their hands dirty and help the Gardens extend their plant collection.
All Planting Bees commence at 9am sharp; with a “planting induction” and participants are asked to remember to slip, slop, slap and wear closed in footwear. For this planting bee, participants are asked to meet at the Heritage Garden gazebo.
