Richmond Glass Mowsworth Challenge 2024
Saturday 23 March 2024 - Join us on the Mowsworth Rampage Challenge!
Cancer is NOT fun. But this Ride-on Lawnmower challenge will be.
We're calling on people to join with Nelson Tasman Hospice and Cancer Society Nelson Tasman as we take on this challenge as a tribute to support our local people in our care.
In 1 day, you will cover 86km... on a Ride-on Lawnmower (minus the blades).
YES! That is your challenge. To conquer the Molesworth track (from Molesworth Station to Hanmer Springs.)
Yes, it will be a long hot, dusty slog. Yes, you will be riding a lawn mower with no guts. Yes, you will laugh and curse and think you could walk faster than this (but you can't).
Yes, it will be hard, but this challenge is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to go through every day.
Join Cancer Society Nelson Tasman and Nelson Tasman Hospice and ride with us in the Mowsworth Rampage to raise money to help support our locals.
The Mowsworth Rampage is the coolest, longest, hardest and most gruelling test of endurance on a ride-on lawnmower that we know of. Are you up for the challenge?
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.
Lawn Mowing
This spring is seeing grass growing at exceptional rates. If you need a lawn mowed as a one off or ongoing contact The Tall Green Man. Free non commitment quotes available

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
