KeriTLC: How to start a vege garden

Dietlind from Kerikeri District

Ever wondered how to get started with a vege garden? There is never a better time than now! In the next meeting of the KeriTLC (Thurs 16/6 @ 6pm) we will be discussing pros and cons of various approaches. The most important question to ask: What do I want to get out of my garden? Every reason is valid: from getting some quiet time in nature to supplementing the food bill... your answer will clearly signpost which garden path to take! And there are certainly many.
Our meeting group is concerned with finding our own individual and healthy lifestyle, by discussing a range of topics from mindfulness, sourdough baking to edible flowers and more. We are meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month (for more than a year now) and are always happy to see new faces and hearing new ideas. When it comes to gardening our approach is definitely working with nature and we will be looking at different options depending on how much time, money and space you can (or are prepared to) spend. To find out more about the group visit the facebook page keritlc or email keritlc.info@gmail.com. As we only have limited space, please contact us beforehand.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
