Summer Garden Open Days Sat 20th and Sun 21st 10am -4pm 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa
We would love to welcome you to share in the beauty of our garden in Summer. It is a very different spectacle to what you saw in Spring when the gardens were full of massed tulips.
The sunflowers on the slope are just starting to bloom, the perennial border is in full swing and work on the subtropical jungle extension has begun.
In light of the recent covid news we ask that everyone brings their own pen to sign in the covid tracing book please. There are plenty of garden rooms to spread out in so keeping a distance should not pose a problem.
Entry is by donation. Thank you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
