                                                        Hi to you all. Well by the time you read
                                                        this 1/3 of the year will be gone. As will
      • Homes • Shops • Offices                         our summer with the days cooling off. Of
     • Factories • Safety/Security                      course this means a completely different
        FREE Strip on Retints                           look with our gardens. It seems our heavy
                  We supply & install                   mulching served us well over our hot drawn
                                                        out summer. Although we did worry about
                                                        the water getting to the roots of our plants
4396 4753 or 0404 180 202                               it appears to have worked and I don’t think
                                                        that we lost any plants intact we had a great
                                                        summer display and new growth.
                                                        Our trained road safety procedures are
                                                        all up and running and working well
                                                        now. Therefore I would like to take this
                                                        opportunity to thank you all for continuing
                                                        to be cautious as you pass us working near
                                                        the roads. We believe that the nearer that
                                                        we can trim to the roadway gives our town
                                                        a much more finished look and it’s by you
                                                        all passing cautiously that we are able to do
                                                        this. Thank you.
                                                        Also I would like to again thank all the kind
                                                        business people that raise money for us via
                                                        donations. And the community that donates
                                                        you are wonderful and greatly appreciated.
                                                        I hope that when you drive in and out of
