And believe me the May issue is packed with the good stuff, with ideas of what you can sow, plant, pick and preserve to make the most of your garden right now, plus Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown, a bumper gardening quiz, and you can visit a spectacular Taupō garden alive with birds, a whimsical wonderland in Glenorchy in full bloom and meet the clever and resourceful gardeners of the Chatham Islands... all without leaving your bubble. And thanks so much to everyone who has been in touch to offer their support to the NZ Gardener team, especially those who have subscribed or renewed or purchased a subscription as a gift (an NZ Gardener subscription is a great Mother's Day idea, just sayin'!) We are so grateful to you all, and it's your support that allows us to keep inspiring and informing gardeners from all around New Zealand as we have been doing now for more than 75 years. Please share this message with your gardening groups on social too. We’re looking forward to the many more years of celebrating the amazing gardens and gardeners of New Zealand that lie ahead.

New Zealand is now at Alert Level 3

New Zealand Government

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.

Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.

Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.

Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.

Greetings again from the Team at Denture Creations. We are edging closer to Level 2 and hopefully will be open again for all Denture related business in 2 weeks’ time. Watch this space for updates.

Tips to keep your dentures in top shape:

Clean daily. Brush them like your natural teeth - but DON’T use toothpaste, as it can damage dentures. Instead, use a soft-bristle denture brush and water to clean the surface. Rinse dentures with water after each meal. Use only specialised denture cleaners for soaking but remember that this is no substitute for brushing. Brushing removes plaque.

If you are not wearing them, soak in cool water or a denture cleaning solution to stop them from drying out. Be careful of industrial cleaning solutions as Metal based dentures can tarnish. Do not soak dentures in hot water - they could warp.
Remove them every night to allow your gums to rest.,

How long do dentures last?

If you take care of your dentures, you should get 5-7 years of wear out of them before they need replacing. Over time, your dentures will need to be relined, remade, or rebased due to normal wear and tear. As you age, your mouth naturally changes. These changes cause your dentures to loosen which can irritate your gums and making chewing difficult.
