Raumati South School Gala
Our Spring Carnival will offer loads of fun activities for the kids including face painting, big bouncy castles, nerf wars, plate smash and the famous Raumati South School dunny throw!
We’ve got all your favourite stalls such as cakes, sweets, toys, books, clothing and plants. The food court is also shaping up well with barista coffee, candy floss, ice cream, hot chips, burgers, nachos and more to come!
You’ll be well entertained through the day with the RSS Kapa Haka opening the festivities and plenty of local talent on stage. And if you’re feeling lucky, there are great prizes up for grabs on spin-the-wheel and a number of silent auctions including the fiercely competitive class auctions!
If it all gets a bit much you can put your feet up at the on-site cafe and have a cuppa and cake.
We can't wait to see you all at Raumati South School!
Railing planters
To gain extra growing space, make and hang these easy-to-build planters on almost any wooden fence or deck railing. Use Resene FX Blackboard Paint so you can easily identify what plants are in each. Find out how to create your own with these easy step by step instructions.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Paper Shredding
I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.
Just let me know if you want some.
