Papatoetoe Garden and Floral Art Society
Hi All, our next meeting will be tomorrow Tuesday 27th June be held at Wesley Methodist Church Kolmar Rd PAPATOETOE 7.30pm.
Yvonne Thomas a mentor at the Auckland Teaching gardens at Massey Rd Mangere will speak about growing vegetables. This will be a very interesting talk.
Tips and tricks ~ Early winter is the main time for dividing and replanting perennials. Most field-grown deciduous trees, shrubs, roses and fruit trees become available to purchase in winter. Prune roses in July. Shift frost-sensitive pot plants to a sheltered place. Winter is the best time for transplanting.
We look forward to seeing you

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
