National Gardening Week 19-26th October

Yates NZ

Planting for a better planet has never been more important - for food, for the environment and for health. This year in particular many Kiwis have found solace in our gardens, or embraced gardening for the first time.

The call is out to New Zealanders to get growing this National Gardening Week and reap the rewards of home-grown food.

To help kickstart your vegie patch and live a more sustainable life, Yates is lending a helping hand.

Just register online HERE between 1st and 18th October to receive a FREE packet of Yates Vegie Seeds.
