These are "Festival" strawberry plants. Festival carry on fruiting all through the summer, from Spring to Autumn - no stopping at Christmas, when you want them most! The fruit are a good size and beautifully sweet.
These are very healthy well-grown runners taken off my garden plants I bought from the nursery 1 year ago. They are loose-rooted so need to be planted or healed into the soil until your garden is ready. I'm thinning my plants for the coming season, and there are so many babies, I couldn't bear to waste them! Happy to offer growing tips if you're not sure how best to grow them

Moving house in the middle of a Tauranga winter can feel like a logistical headache with shorter daylight hours, unpredictable rain, and the juggle of family, work and life. But with a bit of planning, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

✅ Check the forecast early – Our coastal weather can change quickly. Prepare for the unexpected with plastic sheeting or old sheets to protect your floors and furniture.
✅ Hire professionals where you can – Removalists, cleaners and even gardeners can save you time and stress. If you’re renting, they’ll also help you hand the property back in top shape.
✅ Your utilities - Don't forget to advise your utility company so the power's on when you walk in the door.
✅ Label your boxes – It’s a small task that makes a big difference when unpacking.
✅ Start early & pack smart – Daylight is limited, so an early start is key. And keep an essentials bag handy with snacks, cleaning gear, a toolkit and a change of clothes go a long way.

Whether you're moving across town or into your dream home in Papamoa, Welcome Bay, or The Lakes, preparation is everything.

💬 If you're planning a move this winter in Tauranga and want a smoother, more manageable process I'm happy to share local tips, contacts and resources to help.
Let’s make your move one to celebrate, not stress over. 🏡

Scam alert - Nationwide

The Team from New Zealand Police

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.
In the past year, Police have worked quickly to warn the public as these scam calls emerged.

Waitematā CIB’s acting Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Bergin says, “unsuspecting victims are essentially being called out of the blue under a ruse”.
“The story changes slightly, but it will usually involve some sort of investigation and this ‘officer’ will report having located a valuable item of yours, such as a passport.
“He will need your help or ask for your personal information.
“The caller speaks with an English accent and provides a bogus ID number to the victim.”

If you receive a phone call such as this, Police advise the public to be extremely cautious.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says previous iterations of this scam has involved scammers asking people to withdraw cash as part of ‘an investigation’ or handing over bank details.
Police made several arrests last year over the scam.
“We strongly advise that you hang up,” he says.
“From time-to-time, Police officers may contact you as part of their genuine duties.
“It can be a bit surprising to receive a call unexpectantly, so stop and think if you get a far-fetched story shared down the telephone line.”

In the past week, Police have received reports from Kiwis on both islands, including: Warkworth, Riverhead, Royal Oak, Ngaruawahia and in the Clutha and Queenstown-Lakes districts.
“Fortunately, at this stage we are not aware of any victims losing money,” acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says.
“Those recipients have done the right thing and ended the call and reported it to the real Police.”
If you have received a similar call, please report this to Police online now or call 105.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 ⤵️
🚔Police will never ask for your bank details, pin numbers or banking log in.
🚔Police do not offer prize money
🚔 Police will never ask you to go to a bank and withdraw your own cash
🚔 Stop and think: If the call seems off, hang up and call 105 to verify the officer’s identity, or request a callback.
