Last month was one of our focus workshops for the year, working on group plantings. Two of our members participated in this activity, creating their first group settings. There was also an existing setting repotted into a handmade cement pot.

This month isn’t too late to repot deciduous trees, so long as they aren’t yet in leaf. You can also start working on conifers, as they can be repotted in August and September in Sydney.

Don’t forget that our annual show is on in early September, so you might even like to bring trees that need a general tidy up and dressing with moss and/or pebbles in preparation for showing.
