This issue is packed with good reads and amazing offers from our friends and partners. We take a close look at urban farmer Freeman Farms, and visit an Auckland coastal garden that the owner waited three long decades to create as well as a Dunedin garden where they’ve grown flowers for nearly 50 years. We're still on the hunt for our Houseplant Hero, thanks to our friends at Yates and Kings Plant Barn. Nominations are now open for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year too! There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.

Have you booked a school holiday getaway yet?

Trupti Biradar Reporter from Stuff Travel

Many thought that the lack of international travellers would mean that Kiwi families would fill their shoes – at a fraction of the cost. But the reality is that it's still not that cheap. We have some ideas to get you started, read about them in our story below.

HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw printer in excellent condition, complete with more than $1,100 worth of genuine HP ink cartridges. Purchased new, about 6 years ago (from memory).

Purchased new, about 6 years ago (from memory). It's printed 290,000 pages but that's nothing compared to my previous HP model which went well over 600,000 before I retired it.

I've only ever used genuine cartridges in it, and it's never missed a beat. Fast print/copy, black or colour, and uses long-life cartridges. The black cartridge is 9,200 pages, and the colour (CYM) are 6,600 pages each. Paper tray takes a full ream, so great if you're doing a large print run.

Genuine reason for sale, and I'll be sorry to see it go. Please phone 021-759-040.
