TARANAKI POWERCO & FRINGE GARDEN FESTIVALS
FESTIVALS 2021
Formerly the Rhododendron Festival The PowerCo & Fringe Garden Festivals continue to delight people from all over the world. There are so many glorious gardens from which to choose - an intriguing mixture of unique and stunning gardens, each with their own story to tell - but we have done our best to choose a wide variety. This is our fourth visit so we have been able to identify those which will appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes. We'll also be visiting the acclaimed Len Lye Gallery & the wonderful Tawhiti Museum (Hawera).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
