Autumn Garden Tour
Cashmere Presbyterian Church are running an Autumn Garden Tour on Saturday 2nd March.
Enjoy and be inspired by a self-guided tour around a selection of gardens in an area ranging from Cashmere to Tai Tapu.
From small-but-large-in-content gardens, to one with four hectares of native planting, there is something to interest everyone. Tours of Moffatts Flower Company, and a talk about the regeneration at Ernle Clark Reserve will also be available.
Gardens will be open to visit between 11.00am and 4.00pm, and Cream Teas will be available to purchase at the Church from 10.15am to 3pm.
Tickets are $50 each, and can be booked at events.humanitix.com... (note, there is no credit card surcharge to book through this method)
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.
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?
