Community Planting Day
Join us for our fourth annual planting day on Saturday 24 August 8.30-11.30am, Cross Country Drain, Cnr Bill Hercock Street & Harold Holt Ave, Pirimai, Napier.
If you’ve taken a wander along the Cross Country Drain, you will have seen what can be achieved when a community works together. With a combined total of 10,000+ natives planted at our planting days, we need your help.
We have around 3000 natives to plant this year. We will be focussing on the south side of the Cross Country Drain and the area along the expressway.
Start with a briefing at 8.30am, planting from 9am.
Finishing with a sausage sizzle on the BBQ at approximately 11am, once all the plants are in the ground.
This planting day is suited to people of all ages and abilities. Bring along gardening gloves, a spade and a water bottle.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

POTTING MIX QUALITY
If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
