Marsden's Director of Rowing, Rachel Gamble-Flint with Tina Manker (Onslow College), Johannah Kearney (Scots College), and Eleanor Morris (Wellington Rowing Club) made history on Friday, as the first all women crew to row the treacherous Cook Strait. Battling a persistent head wind and big swell the 94km row from Plimmerton to Picton took 11 hours of pure mental and physical grit and resilience. They undertook this epic challenge to raise funds for their mental health charity "Through the Blue" which aims to provide high school teachers with the resources to recognise the signs of anxiety and depression, in order to initiate early intervention and prevention. You can still donate. Congratulations!

A refresh of colourful flowers in pots will lift the winter spirit! Add in 1/3 compost or a handful of sheep pellets to feed the soil and keep the plants healthy for the months ahead.
To give your property a boost, employ a company such as Chemwash to clean down the exterior of your house and paths (the house will look freshly painted and it helps maintain the existing paintwork). Mossy paths, timber decking and steps are important to clean for general safety. If you would like a Garden Consultation please contact me at Ingrid Gotlieb Landscape Design. igotlieb.wixsite.com/landscapedesign
