Le Roy's Picnic Photo at Birkenhead Library

John Gillon from

Danielle Grant, Melanie Jane Kenrick and I were privileged to attend the unveiling of the Le Roy's Picnic Photo at Birkenhead Library, followed by a talk on the history of the Le Roy family in Birkenhead, and the origins of Le Roy's Bush Reserve.
Make sure you stop to have a look at the photo at the Birkenhead Library foyer the next time you are nearby. An information sign will be added in the future.
A huge thankyou to Birkenhead Library Manager Ania Biazik and library staff, Keith Salmon and Friends of Le Roys Bush, Margaret Peacocke and other family and friends of the Le Roy family.

Help Needed: Peat, Straw, and Moisture Control for Tiger Worms in Castor Bay

Diana from Castor Bay

Hello, neighbors! I’m in Castor Bay and currently caring for my tiger worms. I’ve encountered some moisture issues and am looking for materials like peat, straw, or anything that can help with moisture absorption. I’d also appreciate any advice on preventing clogging in the drainage pipe to ensure proper drainage. If anyone has extra peat, straw, or can share some helpful tips, I’d be really grateful! Thank you so much for your support, especially during the holiday season
Best wishes,
Diana
