Bulk plant orders for gardens
BULK plant orders!
I can do bulk orders, that is, a high number of exactly the same plant and variety. I define bulk as 25+ of the same product and plant variety. Not to be confused with a big order that has lots of different products and plant varieties. This is perfect if you need to purchase for a mass planting or have lots of space!
Things to note:
- I do require some advance notice as it takes time to order seeds in bulk, get seeds to germinate and plants to start growing
- I do require a deposit at the time the order is made because I had the awful experience last time of a man who ordered 200 loki gourd plants for his supposed farm. Luckily I didn't start to process the order because he wasn't sincere and I never heard from him again. But I'm putting the offer of bulk orders out there in case there are genuine cases where people simply need tons of plants. I'm happy to do the best I can for these people. Depending on what is being ordered and quantities, I may even be able to offer a discount. I'll see what I can do.

By-election for Otara-Papatoetoe area
Just to let everyone know that we have another by-election happening, and here is the reason why. Below are details and dates, so keep an eye on your letter boxes.
The Manukau Court’s Ruling
The Manukau District Court determined that the Papatoetoe subdivision result of the Ōtara–Papatoetoe Local Board election was invalid, ruling that the outcome had been “materially affected” by voting irregularities. Judge Richard McIlraith found that the scale and nature of the irregularities met the legal threshold required to void an election under New Zealand’s local electoral laws.
In his decision, Judge McIlraith stated that the evidence presented — including reports of stolen voting papers, fraudulent use of ballots, and other procedural irregularities — was sufficient to conclude that the integrity of the election had been compromised. The court noted that at least 79 voting papers were identified as having been cast without the rightful voter’s knowledge during a judicially supervised examination of ballot boxes.
While the judge acknowledged that the election had been administered “properly and in accordance with all requirements” by Independent Election Services and the electoral officer, he concluded that the fraudulent activity originated outside the official process and nonetheless impacted the final result to a degree that required the election to be voided.
As a result of the ruling, the court ordered that a new election must be held, with Auckland Council confirming that the fresh poll must be completed by 9 April 2026
