Last Minute Christmas Gifts!! - Dec 19, 2025
Dear gardening friends
Karyn is retiring, she has worked at Tim's Garden Centre for almost 35 years, she has maintained our gardens here all that time. Planting seasonal flowers in all the garden beds and making the entrance to Campbelltown's Main Street look so amazing.
It's been a labour of love.
I couldn't imagine how many ants she's spat out of the micro sprays here in the garden, or how many plants she's replaced because they get taken. But Karyn has never given up or complained too much. Gardeners are pretty hardy people, they don't give up.
She has come down early in the morning to water plants when it's going to be hot, the plants have been her babies. She's old school.
She's a mad plant collector, I noticed in this photo she's got bags of plants that are going home with her today. Her own garden, which I'm sure you've seen in Broughton street, is going to get more love now.
We wish her well in her retirement, she's going to spoil her granddaughter even more. Brett her husband, might get a bit more attention, his health has been a problem.
Karyn would love to say goodbye to all her gardening friends, we are cooking up a BBQ lunch for her this Sunday at the nursery from 11am to 1pm. If you're quick you might get a sausage sandwich too.
Karyn is a caring person, she looks after everyone.
We will miss her here, thank you Karyn.
Come and say goodbye.

I was driving along Narellan Road this week on my way to work, and I noticed these beautiful Crepe Myrtles flowering in a modern housing estate in Mt Annan.
I drove down Clover St and was blown away by these beautiful White Crepe Myrtles. This is a variety called "Natchez". It grows into a real shade tree and it has these spectacular white blooms for 100 days.
The tree selection really pops with the grey and white houses. It's made this estate look salubrious. I chose the perfect day to visit, the trees still looked amazing after yesterday's heat.
We have this fabulous Dwarf Crepe Myrtle called "Summer Red". It has amazing red flowers for 100 days or more over summer. It grows 1.5ms high so it's perfect for smaller gardens or large pots.
Crepe Myrtle "Summer Red" loves this hot weather.
It can also grow in cooler climates. It can be pruned in winter and kept smaller.
This is one of our favourite hardy plants. It loves a hot sunny position in your garden. Grow it in a big pot using Tim's Best Potting mix. Plants cost $34.99.
