The level of care and knowledge of pruning and maintaining these roses is undoubtedly recognisable and appreciated by anyone passing them by.
For the work in these areas, The Barossa Council provides Angaston Garden Society with funding to purchase plants, materials, gardening supplies, safety equipment and insurance.
They also provide shed facilities for equipment and materials storage.
Meanwhile the Barossa Works Department provides road traffic management on request to ensure a safe working environment at designated locations.
Compliments are certainly appreciated by the society, and discussions and questions from local folk are always encouraged.
Great street conversation is, after-all, one of the most enjoyable parts of being in the society for its members.
The society has received praise from tourists travelling from all over the world and find great satisfaction in these.
And although they work for twelve months of the year, the big payoff is seven months of spectacular blooms.
The time spent on these gardens is three hours of every Monday morning, for those in the society who can make it.
Though all members take great pride in their gardening and beautifying the town, they understand that they have families and other commitments and responsibilities.
This is certainly something for any possible new member to understand, and the Angaston Garden Society indeed welcomes new members.
There are certainly no prerequisites to join and members have entered for numerous reasons over the years; gardening passion, interest in attaining knowledge of roses, desire to contribute and undoubtedly the social aspect.
It’s also a great avenue to do gardening if you don’t have a lot of space at home.
