Caring for indigenous animal and plant habitats
Applications for grants to help private landowners protect indigenous plant and animal habitats on their land are now open.
There are two kinds of grant: one up to the value of $1000 to help cover the cost of materials, equipment or services for small-scale projects like weed and pest control, and a larger contribution of up to $20,000 for projects with a suitable project or property plan.
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.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
