Gardeners from all over south-east Queensland converged on Nanango during the week to swap hints and listen to guest speaker Rod Hultgren share his decades of experience.<\/p>\n

About 80 people – members of seven garden clubs – met at Copper Country Restaurant for the “South Burnett Friendship Day”.<\/p>\n

The day was hosted by Nanango Garden Club but also included members from the Kilcoy Greenleaves, Big Scrub, Valley of the Lakes, Wondai, Kingaroy and Barambah clubs.<\/p>\n

Noel Prior, president of the Queensland Council of Garden Clubs, and Cr Ros Heit spoke at the opening.<\/p>\n

Guest speaker Rod Hultgren has been taking gardening calls from listeners on ABC Southern Queensland for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

He and his wife Maureen have also been awarded Grand Champion in the Carnival of Flowers competition in Toowomba many times.<\/p>\n

As well as the guest speaker, there were stalls to browse, recipes to swap, morning tea and lunch to enjoy, and raffles.<\/p>\n
