We have sold exclusively New Zealand made furniture since our founding back in 1956. It is our lifeblood, and we are passionate about supporting the local furniture industry and the jobs that it creates in our community.

The shutdown has hit our manufacturers hard, and once it is safe to open our showroom again (Level 2), we want to help kickstart the economy and ensure that no jobs are lost because of a slow restart.

For four weeks from the start of Level 2, we will offer the following incentives:

For the first time in our history, we will offer 10% off ALL non-clearance sales - including made-to-order orders, and floorstock sales.

We will also offer free delivery on all furniture to anywhere in New Zealand.

You can already browse products on our website and we are available remotely to answer any questions you might have.

Let's restart New Zealand's economy together!

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
