May saw the start of a new winter schedule for the Bemboka Garden Club, with meetings to be held on Saturday mornings for the next few months. This month brought an unusual activity, led by
three members of the Wyndham Basket Weavers, along with many examples of their extraordinary products. With examples of different garden cuttings, many from climbing plants, they explained
how the various plants can be prepared for weaving or frame construction. Garden club members then tried out some of the more basic techniques, with assistance from the Wyndham ladies.
Everyone found it a most interesting experience, and a number of members expressed interest in learning more about basket-making techniques.
