This month, Leonie Norrington will be giving gardening tips and advice for seniors at 10am on 15 June at Karama Library; morning tea is also provided. As the library is normally closed on Friday mornings, booking is essential; you can reserve your place at your local library.

If you're looking for ideas or inspiration for your garden, the Tropical Garden Spectacular is taking place on 2 and 3 June in the Botanic Gardens; for more information go to www.ntha.com.au.
