Here we have Water Serviceperson Whare in Ngaio at work on a leaking main. It’s hard to make him out under all that gear but to be fair, it was pretty wet and cold.
So to all our crews working on the frontline this winter, every day, in all kinds of weather, thanks for your hard work to keep our three waters flowing, our drinking water, stormwater and wastewater (including hot showers!). Your work is appreciated.

This issue is packed with good reads and amazing offers from our friends and partners. We take a close look at urban farmer Freeman Farms, and visit an Auckland coastal garden that the owner waited three long decades to create as well as a Dunedin garden where they’ve grown flowers for nearly 50 years. We're still on the hunt for our Houseplant Hero, thanks to our friends at Yates and Kings Plant Barn. Nominations are now open for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year too! There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.

Hi,

You are invited to view my new exhibition online!

'2020'
Opening on the 4 July 2020 at 8:00 AM NZST and running until the 4 September 2020

In this exhibition I feature some artworks which have the topic Covid-19 (Some also the topic Racism).

Start viewing the exhibition here: theexhibit.io...

Don't forget you can view the exhibition at any time before it opens, so start viewing now to discover, bookmark and share your favourite artworks!

I look forward to seeing you there.

What else is new? Some of my artworks are now also represented and sold through a gallery in Tokyo, Japan. I'm also looking forward to some International Art Fairs in Europe later this year in which some of my works will be represented by a gallery in Italy.

The probably best way for locals to purchase my artwork is to contact me directly, because then there will be no shipping costs involved (and also 'local' prices!). Follow me on Instagram or Facebook @ngaiophoto.

Enjoy!
Sebastian
