On the frontline

The Team from Wellington Water

Rain or shine, our frontline crews are out there working. It’s all part of providing an essential service.

Rain or shine, our frontline crews are out there working. It’s all part of providing an essential service.
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.

Super cute Lululemon leggings with pockets! White flower pattern, two pockets on the sides for your phone and little zip pocket on the back. The tag has been cut off so not sure about the size but I normally wear a 6 or 8. These are full length.
I'm not super familiar with the different Lululemon styles but these feel not the really thick ones, they are definitely more on the soft side (they are very soft in fact).
Pick up from Island Bay or I can send if you cover postage fees.

Meet possum.
Approx 6 months.

** This is a foster-to-adopt situation **

Up until 3 months ago this sweet girl was living rough with her brother milo, they were taken in by a lady who cared from them and then they came to me.

Possum escaped my room and was living under my bathtub for 2 ish weeks.
Possum and milo were reunited but milo started bullying her so the decision was made to split them up.

Possum has absolutely blossomed!
She is still very timid and will need a very quiet household, she loves cuddles and belly rubs, she doesn't mind being picked up and carried and she loves lounging on the bed while watching tv!

Her ideal home has no pets and no children, possibly one female cat.

She will be vaccinated, desexed and Microchipped.

Her adoption cost is $230.
