Possum Bourne Retirement Village

If you have a green thumb, just imagine what you could do with a balcony with a fantastic view like this one at Murray Halberg Village. This elevated space offers the perfect blank canvas to create a lush outdoor space without lawn maintenance or heavy lifting.

Shane Fairbairn, Landscape Manager at Ryman Healthcare, shares some tips for creating the perfect outdoor space on your patio or balcony so you can enjoy the benefits of gardening without the hassles.

First, decide on a theme. Is it cosy and bohemian, sleek and minimalist, a lush urban jungle, or something else? Your vision will guide your plant and furniture choices.

Support my Journey

Zoeb from Pukekohe

givealittle.co.nz...

Hi, I’m Zoeb Ali (Zee), a passionate writer who dreams of using words to inspire, educate, and give back. I’ve created three blogs, each representing a vital part of my heart and purpose:

Pen by Zee: My space for sharing mindful writing, poetry, novels, and stories that inspire and connect.

Charity with Zee: A platform for highlighting fundraising campaigns I lead for causes like Auckland City Mission, Kiwi Harvest, and New Zealand Mental Health.

NZ History with Zee: Dedicated to preserving and sharing New Zealand’s rich history to educate and engage readers.

Currently, I run these blogs on free platforms, but they limit my ability to deliver the high-quality, professional experience my readers and the causes I support deserve. I’m starting this fundraiser to raise funds for paid versions of these websites.

Your donation will directly support:

Professional website designs to enhance content delivery.

Expanding reach to engage more readers and supporters.

Amplifying my charity efforts for greater community impact.

With your help, I can unlock the full potential of these blogs to inspire, educate, and make a difference. Every contribution matters, and together, we can bring this vision to life.

Thank you for supporting my journey. 💙

Warm regards,

Zee
