Autumn Garden Tour
The Autumn Garden Tour, run by Cashmere Presbyterian Church, is on this Saturday, 2nd March.
Ranging between Cashmere and Tai Tapu, these six gardens will show how much can be achieved – whether your garden is small, large, or over 4 hectares! Gardens will be open between 11am and 4pm.
Tickets ($50 each) are available from the Church Office during these hours:
Today (Thursday) until 4pm
Friday 1st March, 9.30am to 4pm
Saturday 2nd March from 10am.
You can also purchase online at events.humanitix.com... and collect your guide brochure from the church office later.
As an added treat, we will have Cream Teas being served in the Church Hall. For just $7.50 per person you can enjoy a delicious scone, served with cream and jam and accompanied by tea, coffee or cordial. (Cream teas can be purchased even if you are not doing the garden tour.)

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
