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

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
