Queen Elizabeth Planting Days! #LeafYourLegacy
We are taking care of the things that matter – but we can’t do it without your help!
You’re invited to #LeafYourLegacy and help us plant over 20,000 native plants in Queen Elizabeth Park this winter.
We have three planting events:
- 10 June at 10am-12:30pm, The Esplanade Carpark
- 8 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance
- 22 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance
Spades and gloves will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own. Remember to check the weather and dress appropriately so you don't freeze out there, to help you warm up afterwards enjoy a hot drink and biscuits on us.
For wet weather cancellations, please call 0800 496 734
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.
Hīkoi to parliament
Traffic heading into Wellington City has eased, however motorists should continue to expect significant delays in the city.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti has reached Waitangi Park, with Police reporting no issues from this morning’s movements.
Another group of about 2000 people from the Hutt Valley began arriving at the Wellington Railway Station at around 8:30am.
The hīkoi is expected to begin their walk to Parliament along the Golden Mile (Courtenay Place, Manners Street, Willis Street and Lambton Quay) at 9am.
