Depictions Exhibition - on now at the Odlin Gallery
Hi Everyone, I’ve recently joined a talented group of Lower Hutt artists who meet on Monday nights to paint. Our first exhibition of the year is currently on at the Odlin Gallery until 25 February – And it’s a good one! The Odlin Gallery is 9-11 Myrtle Street, next to Huia Pool, in Lower Hutt. Open daily, 10am to 4pm - free entry. I'm on Gallery minding on Saturday mornings during the exhibition if anyone wants to pop in to say hi, and invest heavily in beautifying your wall, or there is a beautiful selection of professionally hand-crafted cards for around $5 each for the more budget conscious. So, if you are out and about at the pool or visiting the Dowse, put the Odlin Gallery on your itinerary as well.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
