Springston Community Garden Autumn Pruning Demonstration
**** What a fantastic response! We've reached our max capacity for Sunday already! I think if we add any more visitors it'll affect the viewing/hearing ability & we don't want anyone leaving disappointed! Thanks to all that have registered - if by chance you can't make it please let us know, there's still a lot of interest coming in. If you've RSVP on Facebook or Neighbourly but haven't yet made contact you're still on the list, please message through with your contact details & suburb you're coming from so we can add it to our registration in advance. 🍁🍂🍎 ****

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
