Do you need pruning and gardening tips?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

In this week’s issue of our ezine Get Growing, we’ve got pruning tips for shrubs, vines and climbers, and it’s time to protect new bulb shoots, trench trees and shrubs before moving them, give the lawn some winter TLC, use weeds to improve your soil and pickle and preserve your stored harvests.

Make your own Modernist crate chair inspired by iconic Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Reitveld in 1934. Plus go in the draw for Yates Sow Anytime Lawn Seed and ‘Café au Lait’ dahlias from Bulbs Direct.

Delivered every Friday to your email inbox, Get Growing digital magazine offers seasonal gardening advice from the NZ Gardener magazine's team of experts. Each week we answer all your burning questions on raising fruit and veges and tell you the top tasks to do in your backyard this weekend. Subscribe here:

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
