Donna from Glenside

We are a local family in Glenside (off Middleton Road) have a small farm on an historic site, blessed with many ‘old-man' (older than 30 years old) Macrocarpa and Pine trees.

These trees are so huge that we’ve had to bring some down as they pose a health and safety risk to our immediate neighbours on the adjacent transport corridors (the main trunk railway line and State Highway 1).

We have truckloads of firewood for burning this winter that is split, seasoned, and dry.
Where possible, we wish to focus on the local area of North Wellington (Ngaio – Ranui) with mid-week and Sunday deliveries. We can do deliveries outside of these areas but it will incur additional delivery fees.

Our price for delivered seasoned and dry ‘old man’ firewood
4m3 pine split, seasoned and dry is $450 incl GST.
4m3 50/50 mac/pine split, seasoned and dry is $500 incl GST.

We are registered as a Work and Income firewood supplier

Price: $450

For people in the southern suburbs, don’t forget to use your wheelie bin clip, or avoid putting your recycling out if you can to prevent items being blown about.
And don’t forget, if you’ve got a backyard trampoline or anything else that could take flight, tie it down!
PS. wrap up warmly – it’s going to be good weather for polar bears!

The Resene Upcycling Awards are coming back this month, the third year in a row! Watch this space and get prepared for the announcement; there are great prizes up for grabs.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!

In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.
