The Deakin Residents Association has received 1,600 Floriade bulbs for planting at the Deakin shops. The garden beds have been prepared, and we are ready for the main planting day.

Saturday 13 June
2:00 pm
Deakin Shops

Under the guidance of Jack and Jenny Gault, we will be planting the bulbs that will form this year’s spring display.

The 2023 display was widely admired and helped create a stronger sense of community in Deakin. Some photos of the 2023 display can be seen here: We hope this year’s planting will be equally successful.

If you can assist, please bring gardening gloves and a small hand trowel if you have one.

We have also been allocated annuals to plant between the bulbs. A second working bee has therefore been scheduled for Saturday 27 June, when we will plant the annuals and complete any remaining work.

To help with planning, please let us know if you expect to attend on either or both days.
