Summer Garden Open Days
10.30am - 3.30pm Saturdays 8th, 15th and 22nd March
34 St Johns Tce, Redwood, Tawa
Rob and I would like to invite you to share the beauty of our late summer garden during 3 Saturdays in March.
Whether contemplation in a Zen garden, relaxing by potted citrus on a Mediterranean terrace, or exploring amongst lush foliage in a jungle type setting is your wish we are sure to have something for you. The perennial border is a kaleidoscope of bright colours, the mini meadow is alive with bees and butterflies and there is so much more.
We have a terraced 633m2 property which we have developed over 30+ years into garden rooms with different themes and colour schemes.
There will also be plants for sale
Entry is by $5 donation per adult please. We use funds raised to help purchase tulip bulbs for our spring open days and to keep improving the garden for your and our enjoyment.
A portion of the funds is also donated to the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, a Wellington based biomedical research company.

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
