I have paid for them and put out on my sand dunes in front of my house. While it is road reserve i have put plants in to hold the sand in place. By having the dunes in front i get less sand in the house and at the back of house and stops the sand from spilling onto the pavement.
If you want a cutting please come in and ask for one. We are more than happy to do this rather than having them being ripped out.

I am a great dog who loves to have cuddles, I love to have humans around me. Due to my young age I would be better for me to go to a home that has no young children. I can be a little shy with new people and then I am a bouncy bean. I would be fine for me to go to a home with teenagers.
So far I had a little bit of training, I am a bit uncoordinated and jumpy. With training, we both need to start from scratch. I am very willing to learn. You will see me blossom from an uncoordinated boy to a very well trained dog that will stick by your side. I need to be introduced to the world slowly as it can be a little overwhelmingly for me. I am great with other dogs at the centre and love to play. A home with a slightly older dog would mix well with me, so they can show me the ropes on how to be the best dog. If you are a ready for a new man in your life, please click on my profile and my heart could be yours forever."

Bees are excellent for pollinating vege gardens and fruit trees. Perfect for the home orchard or farmer. Open to options further out of Wellington as well.
