Beau Park Horse Rescue and Rehab

I met some lovely ladies from Beau Park Horse Rescue and Rehab this morning. As a horse owner myself I am in awe of people who care so much for these beautiful animals.

Rescuing and rehabilitating horses takes a lot of time, work and money.

Please check out the website and if there is any way you can help, please do so :)

Winter Gardens

Not looking very green outside at the moment. Lawns are brown but it won't be long before they're soaking up the spring sunshine and turning green once again.

If you're getting frost on your lawn, don't walk on it until the frost has thawed or you could damage your lawn.

Enjoy your winter garden and frosty mornings (personally I'm looking forward to Spring!)

Keep those lawns happy

These rains are keeping the lawns growing. Soon it should be time for them to take a "growing" break.

If you want a great lawn, you need to look after the soil. Make sure you keep the moisture up - if you can't get a screwdriver into the soil, you aren't watering anyhwere near enough. Dead spots on the lawn are also a red light. Use Water Crystals to retain more water in the soil. There are products you can put on the lawn or mix in with the soil if you are planting new lawn.

Feeding your lawn. Use an organic fertilizer. Don't put synthetic products on your lawn - your soil is alive but it won't be for long if you don't look after it.

Weed and Feed. You shouldn't need it. Keep your lawns mowed so weeds don't go to seed. Hand weed any that have got out of control (or get the kids to earn their pocket money). If your lawn has too many weeds, you'll need to look if there is another reason for it.

If you need mowing for larger blocks - give Boonah Landscaping a call :)

Zumba at Boonah

I love Zumba and we're lucky here at Boonah to have our very own qualified Zumba instructor.

Julie Barns runs Zumba classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6.30pm at the Allsaints new multi-purpose hall.

Julie has been studying dance since her school days and is a qualified ballet teacher and runs "The Barre" Dance school. Julie also choreographs a dance each year for the Boonah Arts Festival.

We are very fortunate to have a Zumba teacher with all of these amazing qualifications. It all equals a great exercise class.

Can men come along too? For sure - all of the classes listed on the Fitness Classes page are suitable for men also.
