The Resene Upcycling Awards are coming back this month, the third year in a row! Watch this space and get prepared for the announcement; there are great prizes up for grabs.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!

In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.

Luckily Ant & Sue from Downsize were sent my way. As soon as I met them, with their way of listening to the customer's needs and respectfully making suggestions, the whole process became so much easier to handle. As well, Ant & Sue were always on time and went out of their way to make the process easier. I couldn't have done it without them. Top marks!" - Karen Pawson (Palmerston North)

There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.
