Summer Garden Open Day 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa Sunday 20th February 10am until 4pm
After much dithering about Omicron and then assessing damage after last weekends storm we have decided we will open our garden to visitors this Sunday. If you visited in Spring to view the tulips you will see how very different a seasonally planted garden can appear at various times of the year. At the moment the perennial sunflowers are in full bloom, the border is a vibrant mix of colours, the jungle is lush and beautiful dahlias are dotted here, there and everywhere. We are very proud to say that our garden is to be featured in the New Zealand Gardener in a couple of months time so if you would like to experience the real life version please come and visit this Sunday.
Entry by donation please.
Masks and scan/sign in required
34 St Johns Tce, Tawa

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
