and every 3rd Saturday of the month 10.00am -12.00noon.

Under the new COVID Traffic System with public gatherings outside please contact us - as we are still working this out?

If it is WET or RAINING we don't prune or garden so contact Gaby to check what is happening and if the event has been cancelled.

PLEASE BRING A FRIEND, GARDENING TOOLS, GARDENING GLOVES, GARDEN BAG FOR WEEDS, WATER BOTTLE, SUNHAT, LONG SLEEVES AND COVERED FOOTWEAR.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK - Everyone welcome to join in - as long as you want, fast or slow. Come to meet other light minded people and enjoy this beautiful garden. We will be weeding and our Heritage Rose Society Ladies will be pruning - they can give you tips and show you how they prune the roses.

If you arrive please go to the Reyburn Gallery or at the front of the Reyburn House Art Gallery.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
