The Friends volunteers Christmas gathering was hel The Friends volunteers Christmas gathering was held at the home of John Birbeck last week.  John gave an informative walk through the different areas of his garden.  With wildlife habitat in mind, he has augmented his remnant rainforest area with additional rainforest plants including edibles such as Davidson’s Plums & native citrus. During  the  walk  hidden  from  general  view  was  a bower  belonging to  a Satin bowerbird ,these birds  are often  shy  so  it  shows  how the  habitat  John has created is encouraging  varied wildlife to  his  garden . He is a great advocate for sustainability in planning both the house & garden.  The walk was followed by a delicious morning tea on his very spacious verandah.
