Seedlings available for planting

Kerry from Devonport

Ngataringa Organic Garden
Fundraiser Seedling Liberation Event
Saturday 18 May 9.00 am – 12.00 noon

Did you miss the big seedlings sale at Ngataringa Organic Garden (4/27 Lake Road, Devonport, opposite the Recycling Centre) last weekend? Good news, we still have a lot of seedlings looking for a new home, all ready for planting out into your beds or containers. As a local community garden we would love your support and know you’ll care for these seedlings as much as we have 💚🌱

We have lots of varieties available, including the super healthy kales, peas, cauliflower, a variety of onions, lettuces, celery, spinach, silverbeet, and so many more. These are all ready to pop into a bed or container so you can get those organic winter veggies rolling for the whānau. These seedlings have been sown in sterilised recycled punnets using organic seeds and mixes to the extent possible. Six-pack punnets often contain 10-12 plants and the suggested koha is $3-$5 per punnet.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
