Garden open days
Just a reminder that we are closed for a private function this Saturday morning. If the weather is really good we may open for everyone in the afternoon in which case I'll post here and on my Fb page Carolyn Campbell Garden Design and Grooming. The tulips are truly spectacular this year so please come along to 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa, on Sunday 10.30 to 3.30. Entry by donation please. (suggested $5 to $10 per adult. Children free). This will help us buy the tulip bulbs for next year so we can put on another display to share with you all. Part of the proceeds will also be donated to the Wellington Hospital Eye Clinic. Thank you

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
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.
