We welcome visitors and new members.

She recently convened the Botanical Art Worldwide 2025 exhibition that showed at the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Lesley will talk about her watercolour paintings including a series of tillandsia watercolours that she was commissioned to paint.
Ahead of Lesley, we have Dian Timmins from the Bromeliad Society talking about the tillandsia group of bromeliads and how to care for them.

-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
