PLANT STALL - 972 East Coast Rd, Northcross.
Hi, pleased to say another 50+ pots on-cycled last month. Now starts the best planting weather for all plants.
Have strawberriesfor50cents just starting, some swan plant seedlings $1.Lots of good ground covers - green sedum, mondo grass and orange clivias for $1. Nearly used all the pots I needed too, so thank you all.
Also selling a couple of big specimen jade -$20 already in brown pots. Other stuff as well but will not have too many more after June. Few copper bromiliads @ $3. And some more cannas $4 Australanas/med brown leaf and dark apricot flowers/couple more yellow which have been the most popular. Autumn is the time when we uplift all plants, throw away old parts and replant with new compost and fertilsor to make new healthy plants for spring.
NB. Easy to spot ATM - roadworks have dropped huge sign y my driveway. Just turn at the big blue arrow!!!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
