Friends of Karori Cemetery: Seed Collection

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

Hello everyone. For a new project we have planned at the cemetery, we need Renga Renga Lily (Arthropdium) seeds. And lots of them ! Lots and lots ...

So we are asking if you would please check your gardens for this lovely native plant and cut the seed heads off for us. Now is the perfect time to collect as the seed heads are drying, and for us to put them to good use at the cemetery.

We'll be at the Shelter (in the centre of the cemetery) on Sunday 7th April, 10:00am - 12:00pm to receive the seeds. We've also left some buckets on the seats at the Shelter you can leave seed in if it's not convenient to come on Sunday morning (see photo).

We appreciate everyone's help to make the cemetery even prettier ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐ŸŒฟ

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
