Summer Garden Open Day 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa Sunday 20th February 10am until 4pm
After much dithering about Omicron and then assessing damage after last weekends storm we have decided we will open our garden to visitors this Sunday. If you visited in Spring to view the tulips you will see how very different a seasonally planted garden can appear at various times of the year. At the moment the perennial sunflowers are in full bloom, the border is a vibrant mix of colours, the jungle is lush and beautiful dahlias are dotted here, there and everywhere. We are very proud to say that our garden is to be featured in the New Zealand Gardener in a couple of months time so if you would like to experience the real life version please come and visit this Sunday.
Entry by donation please.
Masks and scan/sign in required

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
