at 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa.
Despite the terrible weather the tulip displays are looking beautiful with more bulbs coming into flower everyday. There is much to enjoy so please do come along and explore.
We have opened our garden, entry by donation, as a fundraiser for the final production of Massey University's Creative Media Production students. Our eldest son is a member of this team.
Let's hope the weather is better than last weekend.
Thank you for your support.

The Wellington City Council has proposed that in our most central suburb, Te Aro, we have a “minimum building height of at least 6 storeys” and a “maximum permitted building height to at least 10 storeys.”
In Wellington a lack of available land for development is driving the change towards higher buildings. That could eventually see Te Aro transform from an original working class suburb to a suburb of tower blocks. What do you think?
HI NEIGHBOURS,
Can you please recommend a reliable and efficient person you know.
Thank you

State Services Minister Chris Hipkins says hubs outside main centres such as Wellington and Auckland cities would take pressure off existing offices.
Wellington’s public sector employs about 27,000, while there are about 37,000 in the private sector. A Cabinet paper tabled last year revealed the State Services Commission wanted to “reduce the footprint” of government workers in the Wellington and Auckland regions, and move agencies elsewhere when possible.
What do you think of moving state servants out of Wellington City?
