An aging population is not a problem: it is the true wealth of nations

As Theodore Roszak said: “An aging population is not a problem: it is the true wealth of nations.” 

Gardens can be a source of particular solace, sanctuary and delight for the elderly. 

A group of GAF volunteers have been holding regular working bees at Lawrenny Court, where many residents have much loved beds and borders, but find maintenance a challenge.  If someone is unable to look after their garden, it is converted to shrubs - not the same as beloved flowers, herbs or vegetables. We work convivially for an hour and a half, then are given a splendid afternoon tea.

The next working bee is Saturday May 18th at 2.30pm

Meet at the Lawrenny Court hall, 131 Hill St. Bring tools and gloves. 
Please RSVP to Miriam (text/phone: 0400 480 908 or email: my_mort@hotmail.com) so we can plan work and catering.
