SPEAKER – Charlotte Pederson
Charlotte is Espaso Verde’s principal designer. Charlotte studied Landscape Design and Construction at the Waikato Institute of Technology based at the Hamilton Gardens and holds Dip-Tech Landscape Design and Cert Horticulture.
Much of Charlotte’s inspiration comes from her travels visiting some of the most famous and beautiful gardens in the world, and she combines this backdrop with her love of colour and design to create innovative and inspiring settings. Charlotte’s passion for plants and attention to detail forms the base of her elegant style that works in either contemporary or traditional gardens.
Charlotte comes from a family of talented gardeners and grew up talking green. She has done the hard graft in family gardens as well as the mindful design work.

The Christmas Function
As with last year, our club has decided to support the Hastings District Street Appeal by donating gifts. Jo Reyngould on behalf of the Baptist Church will speak to us on the night of our Christmas Function and we will hand over our gifts to her.
Can you please bring along a suitable gift for either an infant 0-12 months or a child up to 14 years of age, or mums and dads. This year support is going to 550 families (340 living in Decile 9 and 10) i.e. 2150 individuals, 1102 of are under the age of 14.
Gifts may be wrapped or in a bag but should have the gender and suggested age group of an adult male, adult female written on them. They are sorted and then re-wrapped to meet the family need.
Please either bring them along next week or on the night of our Christmas Function on 9 December.
Thank you
Trish
