Gardening Talk | Growing Kai with Luke Southern
Calling all green thumbs!
The Howick Historical Village is set in seven acres of landscaped grounds with established native and exotic trees, a large pond and extensive cultivated gardens.
The fruit trees and vegetable gardens showcase a variety of produce all year round and the herb garden and other planting schemes contain edible plants grown by Maori and early settlers to New Zealand, reflecting the 1840s-1880s era of the Village.
Learn more in this informal talk with the Village’s Heritage Gardener, Luke Southern. See the giant pomelos and some of the incredible heirloom vegetable varieties of corn, gourds and pumpkins produced in the gardens over the last few months. Get his top tips on how to get your own homegrown kai on the table!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
