Plant Food Medicine Workshop
Are you into foraging or simply want to expand your plant knowledge? Then this awesome workshop is for you.
Sunday, 19th February, 10:00 am – 2:30 pm.
Go for a walk in lush surroundings at Riverside Community and soak up your tutor John Massey's wisdom on how to work and live more in tune with nature and with what some people may call 'common weeds'. Wild plants have much to give in terms of nutrients and healing power, yet their vast potential often goes unrecognised and underutilised. Stinging nettle, red clover and plantain are just three examples of largely ignored and - in the case of stinging nettle- frowned upon treasure troves.
All ages and experience levels are welcome.
$45 per person. Registration for this session is essential!

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
