Janet and her husband both enjoy tending to their garden and shared this about their garden:
"We are both in our eighties and have lived in the Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village for three and a half years. Our passion for gardening spans many years. We change our display every six months to cover Spring and Summer.
The residents in the village regularly bring their visitors to see our display and take plenty of photographs. When you hear comments such as “It lifts my spirits when I get to this corner” you realise how much it means to everyone. We will continue to create a beautiful garden for as long as we are able."

"An easy-to-navigate duffel on wheels. Built to deal with the rigours of travel with ease.
This duffel is ready to roll. It's built from a tough Kodra nylon to protect your gear, and it has a variety of carry options to suit your style.
There's a telescopic handle for terminals. Shoulder straps for transit, and a combination of haul loops and webbing handles for grabbing on-the-go.
The solid frame protects the large main compartment from rough handling and a solid base sheet helps to keep your duffel upright — even when full.
At 120L it's ideal for long-haul international travel and moving plenty of gear closer to home."
