Papatoetoe Garden and Floral Art Society
Hi All, our next meeting will be tomorrow Tuesday 27th June be held at Wesley Methodist Church Kolmar Rd PAPATOETOE 7.30pm.
Yvonne Thomas a mentor at the Auckland Teaching gardens at Massey Rd Mangere will speak about growing vegetables. This will be a very interesting talk.
Tips and tricks ~ Early winter is the main time for dividing and replanting perennials. Most field-grown deciduous trees, shrubs, roses and fruit trees become available to purchase in winter. Prune roses in July. Shift frost-sensitive pot plants to a sheltered place. Winter is the best time for transplanting.
We look forward to seeing you
Poll: Are Kiwis 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.
