Te Horo Country Garden Tour 2019
Only 3 or 4 more sleeps to go - depending on which day you choose!! As well as the 13 glorious gardens we have a variety of plant and garden related stalls at the hall as well as an amazing raffle with 12 prizes donated by local businesses, the first being a $250 hamper from Ruth Pretty! Although we would like you to, you don't have to go on the garden tour to pop into the Te Horo Hall on School Road, browse the stalls, buy a Christmas present or two, a raffle ticket and have a coffee and scone in our cafe. Whatever you choose to do you'll be supporting the earthquake strengthening of the Te Horo Hall. Bring cash as not all stalls will have eftpos and it will be quicker when purchasing your Garden tickets, although I know a lot of you have already bought them, so you can plan your route in advance and get straight into the gardens!!
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
