Seedlings available for planting
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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
