As well as stalls of fruit & veg fresh from the orchards (cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, avocado) specialty produce (honey, olive oil, chocolate, preserves, deli, meats, baked goods) and handmade items (candles, homewears, toys, woodcrafts and more) there will be vintage gems curated by Fossick & Furnish and special guest Lynda Hallinan.
Boutique plant nursery Puriri Lane will be back and Jasper Hawkins will be providing the soundtrack for the day! Join us at 11:30 for a free talk on uses and properties of herbs (culinary, cleaning, for health, healing, stress, sleep, beauty) with garden writer and editor Jane Wrigglesworth of Sweet Living Magazine.
With food vendors serving an array of tempting options for brunch and lunch and Alberton's quaint tea room open for business, with tea & scones served from the vintage china - meet a friend and stay a while to enjoy the ambiance in the garden and historic house. As always there will be children's activities, a face-painter, spot-prizes and a HUGE hamper of goodies to win! Make any purchase for an entry form.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
