Paeony Cut Flower Show
Christchurch Paeony are holding their first Cut Flower Show on 27th November at The Kiosk in the Botanic Gardens. We NEED your flowers; one or many! (flowers can easily be cool stored in your own fridge - see below)
Entry is FREE. Register your approximate number of entries here: bit.ly...
To save flowers in the bud, you can cut the bloom in the 'soft bud' stage with approx 40cm stem. Strip the leaves and wrap the dry flower in paper and store in a bag on the fridge. Label with the name or description of the flower. Amazingly, the bloom will keep up to 8weeks and will rehydrate overnight with the stalk in water. Come and see all the varieties at the show. And/or join the club here: bit.ly...

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
