donation of plants appreciated ;-)
Our complex has a huge back yard untouched for possibly decades till I started to pull all the weeds last year. Now it is ready for preferable plants (I mean, instead of ginger etc which were there to completely take over the piece of land..). If anyone has any plants for us to take over, please let me know.
-both that loves shades, and that loves sun,
as we have sunny areas and shady areas.
-preferably NZ native
-already grown up tree with edible fruit would be fantastic!! 😉
-feijoa, lemon, orange, peach .. 🤤
-we prefer fern, palms, panga, coprosma etc (evergreen plants) to flowers
-plants that are not high-maintenance, as we are not good at maintaining them 🙈
Videos show how the piece of land is looking like now.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
