Open Garden Day October Kiambo

Sue and Max Chapman conducted an open garden weekend to raise funds for the New South Wales Cancer Council and Rotary's Shelter Box project.

The garden built and maintained by Sue and Max is one of the finest examples of any garden anywhere. This generous contribution of their time and hard work was supported by the Rotary Club of Coolamon. The funds raised over the weekend reached $4,000.

Thank you Sue and Max.

Just a small part of this wonderful garden. Photos cannot do justice to the work that has gone into the development of this garden you will have to wait until the next time Max and Sue open up the garden again.

Sausages done the Rotarian way by Bert Browning.

Scones anyone? Maureen Hulsman working hard in the canteen.
