Summer Garden Open Days
10.30am - 3.30pm Saturdays 8th, 15th and 22nd March
34 St Johns Tce, Redwood, Tawa
Rob and I would like to invite you to share the beauty of our late summer garden during 3 Saturdays in March.
Whether contemplation in a Zen garden, relaxing by potted citrus on a Mediterranean terrace, or exploring amongst lush foliage in a jungle type setting is your wish we are sure to have something for you. The perennial border is a kaleidoscope of bright colours, the mini meadow is alive with bees and butterflies and there is so much more.
We have a terraced 633m2 property which we have developed over 30+ years into garden rooms with different themes and colour schemes.
There will also be plants for sale
Entry is by $5 donation per adult please. We use funds raised to help purchase tulip bulbs for our spring open days and to keep improving the garden for your and our enjoyment.
A portion of the funds is also donated to the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, a Wellington based biomedical research company.
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!
