Come and visit Ngataringa Organic Garden and get some seedlings from our winter seedlings sale. We have thousands of them, all ready for planting out into your beds or containers. As a local community garden we would love your support and know you’ll love these seedlings as much as we have 💚🌱
We have lots of variety, including the super healthy kales, peas, cauliflower, a variety of onions, lettuces, celery, spinach, silverbeet, and many more. All ready to pop into a bed or container to get those organic winter veggies rolling for the whānau. These seedlings have been sown in sterilised recycled punnets using organic seeds and mixes to the extent possible. Six-pack punnets often contain 10-12 plants and suggested koha is $3-$5 per punnet.
Come and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a scone or cake while you visit. We welcome you to join us and encourage you to explore one of Te Hau Kapua / Devonport’s lovely community gardens while you are here 😊.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
