In 2016, the Buderim Garden Club celebrated 70 years!
So what do they do? Give money to another club of course! A massive $10,000 was donated to the Friends of Maroochy Regional Botanic Gardens, as part of their commitment to regional beautification. This major donation will be used in the further development of the Children’s Whip Bird Walk in the Gardens.
The Buderim Garden Club has been a donor to the Maroochy Botanic Gardens since their inception and members feel a close bond with these gardens, right on Buderim’s doorstep. The cheque was presented to Friends of MRBBG Secretary Bob Ducrou at the May meeting of the Garden Club by Club President Teddy Gove in the presence of over 100 Garden Club members. In thanking the Garden Club for their generous donation, Mr Ducrou said that the money would be used for the further development of the Whip Bird Walk which is a major attraction for children visiting the gardens. Mr Ducrou told the meeting that, when the many man-hours of the Friends’ volunteers were taken into account, the value of the donation would be multiplied many times over.
