Green thumbs wanted
More than 1600 native plants went into the ground at Styx Mill Conservation Reserve last weekend.
Now, the second of Trees for Canterbury's community planting events will be held at the Charlesworth Street Reserve on Sunday, May 19.
Trees for Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council's regional parks team will help establish native trees and shrubs in the reserve.
The reserve is being developed to re-establish an estuary-edge ecosystem, including salt-meadow, salt-marsh and coastal bush that are currently very rare or non-existent in the area.
Community planting: Charlesworth Street Reserve, 10am to 2pm, Sunday, May 19.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
