Eddy Rejman (Vice President)
Having left behind 10 acres of gardens and lawns to be mowed in Macedon, Victoria, Eddy has a very clear idea of what he does not want in the new garden! But he is happy to let Cate design the garden provided it includes lots of trees, plenty of irises and a minimal amount of lawn to be mowed! His other passion is to incorporate unusual features in the garden to provide an element of interest and surprise. Favourite plant: Irises Favourite season: Summer Biggest gardening failure: Taking a request to prune an old fig tree too literally, and pruning to ground level. Favourite gardening task: Anything requiring the use of his tractor. |
Cate Rejman (Secretary)
Cate and husband Eddy moved to Nook just over 4 years ago, from a property in Macedon that had 10 acres of stunning gardens. Building a house has meant that the garden has taken a back seat, but has provided the opportunity to observe the different seasons and their impact on the future garden. However, the orchard has been planted along with many of the larger trees that will form the structure of the garden. Favourite plant: Japanese maples, irises and greenhood orchids Favourite season: Winter Biggest gardening failure: Overcrowding when planting. Favourite gardening task: Weeding |
