All things banana & subtropical decorations needed

Ellen Neighbourly Lead from Sandringham

I am part of a team organising the Gribblehirst Community Hub event stall for the Sandringham Spring Festival on Sat 29.10. (9-3pm)

Our theme is “Sandringham goes bananas” and we are looking for any banana or subtropical or tropical decorations (even animals associated to tropical) of any kind.

Please pm me or contact the coordinator@ghub.nz if you have some decorations to donate or to lend us. Could be toys, posters, fabric, decorative subtropical foliage
Thank you so much if you can help.

Our goal is to show people that they can grow bananas in their backyard and have a low care abundant fresh fruit source of NZ’s most imported fruit.
We even have some plants to share out for a small contribution so people can start the journey.

(Sharing some pics of my banana abundance grown in Sandringham)

And if you have excess banana plants to donate, we are happy to pick them up and share them out.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
