The botanist's own garden

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

The tree paeonies are a testament to Peter Johnson's deep botanical dedication and the passion he devotes to their breeding. "The original double pink paeony I had in my childhood garden was gifted to me 60 years ago by a family friend," he says.

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

The SE2717H is a 27" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 and a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz. It has a couple tricks up its sleeve, though. First and foremost, the display supports FreeSync VRR technology, providing smooth, tear-free gaming with compatible Radeon graphics cards. If anyone's wondering, the display's FreeSync range goes from 48 to 75 Hz. Second, the screen is based on IPS display panel tech, which should let users enjoy good color accuracy and viewing angles. Response time rings in at 6 ms."
