Western Springs Community Planting Day

Dee Sims from Waitematā Local Board

Conservation Volunteers has partnered with the Waitematā and Ōrākei Local Boards to plant native trees around some of our local waterways.

On the 12th of June we will be planting at Western Springs to help improve the water quality of the lake, and to provide food and habitat for our native species. Planting will go from 10am-12pm followed by a free sausage sizzle!

What to bring: Gumboots or closed toe shoes, appropriate long sleeved clothing and trousers, favourite spade (if you have one), gardening gloves (optional). Some spades and gloves will also be provided.

Conservation Volunteers can also transport a limited number of volunteers to the project from our office in Eden Terrace.

Bookings are essential. If you would like to make a booking or for more information please contact info@cvnz.org.nz or call 0800 567686

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
