My Local Like
A big shout out to the HLC restaurant/Cafe Trainors who make it possible (during graduates training) for the average Joe and Jill Bloggs to enjoy a fine dining and 5* star service experience, all at an affordable price. Staff are always striving to be the best in their respective roles, the Chefs are amazingly talented and the HLC Restaurant deserves to be congratulated on their consistently high standards and achievements.

What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
