Flower bed renewals and re-use of plants

The Team from Whangarei District Council

In March 2025, contractors will be removing summer’s annuals from garden beds so they can get the parks ready for the Winter and spring displays.

Bedding plants usually only flower for a season and then die down, but skilled gardeners can sometimes keep them looking good for a while longer. If you would like to try extending the summer flowers' lives, you are welcome to collect some and have a go.

Please note: We can’t offer plants from roundabouts or traffic islands for road safety reasons, and we can't offer to hold plants for later collection - just come along at the following times if you're keen:

🌷 Cafler Park: Friday 7 March 2025 at 7:30am (Statice and Dianthus)
🌷 Forum North; Wednesday 19 March at 10:00am Geranium Apple blossom and Dianthus
🌷 Town Basin; Thursday 20 March 2025 at 7:30am (Begonia Gazania and Gaura)
🌷 Cameron Street; Thursday 27 March 2025 at 8:00am (Geranium Multibloom)
🌷 Airport; Thursday 27 March 2025 at 8:30am (Begonias)
Waipu; Thursday 27 March 2025 at 10:00am (Geranium)
🌷 Laurie Hall Park; Friday 28 March 2025 at 7:30am (Perennial Lobelia Blue or Red)

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Whangarei

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
