While this is a very special day for the Glebe Garden Club, Lynette Shailer, a very well-known guest speaker, has also been organised to speak on “Camelia Companion Planting.

Camellias are attractive evergreen shrubs that are highly prized for their exquisite blooms, their splendid foliage, and their shapely habit. Blooming prodigiously for weeks from winter to spring, Camellias are ranked as one of the best flowering shrubs. While extraordinarily good-looking on their own, Camellias, look more charming when planted with companion plants. Camellias make perfect partners with other plants and help create strikingly beautiful combinations in the garden. Their glossy foliage creates a welcomed backdrop during “non-blooming” months for other shrubs and flowers. Lynette Shailer has had a lifelong interest in plants, and Camelias have been a large part of her garden in Toowoomba. She uses a variety of established companion plants that grow successfully in the same conditions as camelias. They enhance the environment for camelias and create interest during the Camelia non blooming season. Lynette will speak on Camelias while providing practical tips on associated companion planting you can use in your garden.

Glebe Garden Club members – you really need to be at this function.
