Garden Open days 8th, 15th and possibly 22nd March, 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa
Hi. This is just a reminder that we are inviting you to come and explore our garden tomorrow from 10.30 until 4pm to share in its early autumn beauty. It took quite a beating from the recent storm but we have worked very hard and it is looking wonderful. Garden entry is $5 per adult and we are collecting donations for the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, Wellington.
We will also have plenty of locally grown flowering plants and succulents for sale so remember to bring plenty of spending money.
See you soon
Carolyn and Rob
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
