PLANT SALE in Te Puna Quarry Park, this Sunday, 12 May, Mothers day
Come and join us for the next big plant sale on Sunday 12th May: ‘Mothers’ Day at the Park’.
All proceeds go directly back into the park.
We have a large collection of pots and plant containers.
Some of the volunteers are going to help children to make posies for their Mums and there will be lovely gifts to be purchased for Mum.
Devonshire Tea featuring Shona’s famous scones with home made jam and whipped cream will be available.
Most importantly will be the plants to buy, featuring Clivias and Hoyas, and a good collection of native plants, along with others.
Obviously, everyone is welcome to come along - not just mothers.

If you happen to have plants-in-pots, or pots or garden furniture you want to donate, we are keen to get them and pick them up on 10 or 11 May. Please contact Elly 027 371 8720.
