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

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
