Three locations to learn from Costa
Expect entertainment plus on July 10 when Costa Georgiadis from ABC Gardening Australia treats locals to his dynamic presentations when he visits his uncle and aunt, Jim and Debbie George, from the Tin Can Bay Fishing Club
Set your diaries straight right now – mark off July 10, because Costa is coming to town!
Sponsored by the Tin Can Bay Fishing Club, Costa Georgiadis from ABC Gardening Australia visits his uncle and aunt, locals (and avid fishers) Jim and Debbie George.
There are ample opportunities to listen to the gardening guru, his first stop for the day is 9am for the Tin Can Bay School assembly. Everyone there is certainly looking forward to the start the term – with a visit from Costa on the first day of school!
At 10am, be entertained at a Sailability Morning Tea with Costa at the Cooloola Cove Veterans and Community Hall on the corner of Nautilus Drive and Santa Maria Court.
Admission is $10 and includes six raffle tickets and morning tea.
Straight from the Queensland Garden Expo at Nambour, says his uncle Jim, “He has been a guest speaker at some of their forums for the last four or five years.
“When he finishes there he comes to Tin Can Bay – he loves getting involved with the kids at the school and helping Sailability at the same time.”
And there are always questions and answers – with the audience receiving tips for their own plants and gardens.
Says Jim, “He brings plants from the Garden Show – he can talk about them, then has a little auction.
“Last year we raised $1800 for Sailability, it is the Fishing Club’s way we can give back to the community.
“It’s really good – he is a sell-out. We are hoping for 120 people on this one – that’s all the hall can hold!”
Then 1.30 – 2.30pm you can see Costa at the Rainbow Beach State School Kitchen Garden on Warooga Road.
He will be speaking to students and visitors about the importance of looking after ourselves and our planet, the benefits working in a garden brings and choosing to consume less processed foods.
Everyone is welcome including students not enrolled at the school, as long as they are under your supervision.
Debbie and Jim last caught up with their nephew in Sydney, “He’s as busy as ever! We are very fortunate to accommodate him here – some occasions he has a call for more filming – we like to give him a bit of R&R after the Garden Show.”
Costa is known for his vibrant presentation style and wild hair, Jim laughs, “He won’t have a haircut – he calls himself a bit of a hippy. He’s happy with it – so we’re happy with it too. Some locals say I’m going to get scissors on that beard – he says he’s not negotiable on that one!”
Limited seats are available for the morning tea so booking is essential, phone or text Colleen on 0419 121 884 for your tickets, and help Sailability Tin Can Bay Inc. give “freedom on the water” to adults and children with disabilities every Friday.
