Turn your balcony or patio into a lush garden

Evelyn Page Retirement Village

If you have a green thumb, just imagine what you could do with a balcony with a fantastic view like this one at Murray Halberg Village. This elevated space offers the perfect blank canvas to create a lush outdoor space without lawn maintenance or heavy lifting.

Shane Fairbairn, Landscape Manager at Ryman Healthcare, shares some tips for creating the perfect outdoor space on your patio or balcony so you can enjoy the benefits of gardening without the hassles.

First, decide on a theme. Is it cosy and bohemian, sleek and minimalist, a lush urban jungle, or something else? Your vision will guide your plant and furniture choices.

Speed Friending Event, Sat 21st Feb 7pm, Dairy Flat Community Hall

Michelle from Waitoki

Are you wanting to expand your social network, perhaps find a new bestie, or are you new to the area and wanting to find a new friend group?

Speed friending allows you to connect with others, having a full five minutes with each person you get paired with, and later if you both wish to connect, we’ll facilitate that by email. We will provide prompt questions to ensure you won’t be stuck for conversation. It is most definitely NOT a dating event and is aimed at the 40+ age group.

For those who are a little nervous you’ll be greeted at the door and shown through to the bar area - our aim is to keep any pre-event jitters to a minimum. Please bring cash as there is no EFTPOS available.

This is a limited number event so please email fastfriendsnz@gmail.com to register your interest or ask any questions you may have.

All proceeds go to the Dairy Flat Community Hall.

We hope to see you there.

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post and we'll post the answer in the comments below at 2pm on the day!
