Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday plus potted colour to brighten your day

Val from Otaki District

It's time to start thinking about your spring garden!
The weather has been against garlic planters: too much moisture. Cloves have rotted in the ground. We have well established plants ready to go into your garden beds and ramp away.
Also parsley, celery, spring onions and a limited amount of broccoli cabbages, cauli, pak choy and silverbeet.

Looking for a bit of brightness in your flower beds or some pots on the doorstep? We all need a bit of cheering up. We have large potted polyanthus, violas, and pansies that will brighten up your garden beds, pots or just fill a few gaps and flower through until late spring. Pansies must go this weekend - we need the space!

Look for our stall partway down Park Avenue.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
