Dear Subscriber
See all our newsletters here, if you missed out previously. July is known as the rainy month, and it is almost always cold. July receives the most rainfall of any month of the year, sadly this year while the weather has been lovely we did not receive as much rain as we should. Please continue to save water as our dam levels are nowhere near where they need to be to sustain the city. We hope that you are keeping warm and planning lots of activities. See our Upcoming Events section below for some ideas.
As always, this month's newsletter is packed with interesting articles from our contributors, specials, and a few new businesses. Remember to enter the competitions which includes great prizes from our generous sponsors. Do also have a "peep" at the many properties for sale from Norgarb Properties.Once again, we hope that you enjoy the newsletter, and remember to send us feedback as we do enjoy hearing from you.

AUGUST IN THE GARDEN
