Tarwin Lower Green Thumbs Garden Club
​
Last Tuesday of the month
​
In 2016 a garden club at Tarwin Lower was re-established. There had previously been a number of garden clubs that had ceased to operate, and as a result of public feedback, the Tarwin Lower Health Centre Committee took the initiative to hold a public meeting to establish interest and support for a garden group.
​
Accordingly, the Green Thumbs Garden Group was established as an ancillary group to the Tarwin Lower Community Health Centre Committee of Management.
Aims of the group are:
​
-
To provide opportunities for members to learn more about flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetables, about different varieties, where they originated and how to grow and propagate them.
-
To create enjoyment in gardening and social interaction, networking and development of knowledge and skills about seasonal climates and what to plant.
​
The Green Thumbs Garden Group holds meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month from February to December. Meetings alternate between IN days where a guest speaker, demonstration, competition or plant sharing occurs or OUT days where the group visits nurseries, gardens or other places of interest.
​
Membership is $10 per year, and a $2 coin at meetings to help cover costs of refreshments.
