Will take to one of the Op Shops (if they'll have them) next week.
Pick up is central Masterton or if local, might be able to drop off.
This little Pompom bush is happy in its pot at the moment and should put on good growth this Summer once in the ground.
In the Spring this bush is covered with tennisball size white flowers resembling pompoms.
They are a deciduous bush.
The plant picture is the parent plant.

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.
If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

Hi team,
I have a bunch of secondhand pine decking if anyone wants it. It needs a bit of a clean but it’s in pretty good condition and seems a shame to take it to the tip. Pick up in Carterton.PM me if you want it. First come basis.

The bearded iris flowering season is virtually over with all its beauty.
I have posted photos of part of my iris garden, for you to see if there is an iris there that you like. Also photos of the individual blooms. There may be a limited number of some of them.

I have posted photos of part of my iris garden, for you to see if there is an iris there that you like. Also photos of the individual blooms. There may be a limited number of some of them.
I can show you closeup photos on my ipad of every iris.
I have dwarf irises which grow about 30 cms high, medium height irises which are wind resistant but mostly the tall irises with flower stalks up to a metre high.
I will dig the bare rooted rhizomes and now is a good time to replant them.
I can give simple instructions if necessary but basically irises like the sun and soils that are not boggy. They are frost hardy and come up each year.

So we’re curious…

A few simple tweaks can make a massive difference:
1. Calm, soothing colours
2. Clutter-free corners
3. Comfy, quality bedding
4. Smart storage + multifunctional furniture
5. Eco-friendly materials for a fresher feel
6. A touch of tech (only the helpful kind!)
