Hello, I’m Jenny Morgan from 'Jenny Morgan Professional Dog Grooming'.
In my line of work I come across the most wonderful dogs. A high percentage of them have experienced an awful start to life and some have ended up in the pound through no fault of their own, just like 'Manu' here in the photo. Thank goodness he has now been re-homed into a wonderful loving family. And it’s not just dogs; all kinds of animals are suffering abuse and neglect.
This is why I have decided to raise money for the BOI Animal Rescue - Never Ending Story. This wonderful rescue organisation has worked tirelessly for over 12 years for animals in need, and I want to help them continue!
On Saturday 4th July, between 12 and 1pm, I will have ALL MY HAIR SHAVED OFF for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue – Never Ending Story. Please come along to Highway Vets (next door to Redwoods Garden Centre, 1526 Springbank Road, SH10, Kerikeri) to watch, and show your support by donating to this great cause! I looking forward to seeing you there. (Oh, by the way, my hair will be donated to The KidsCan Charitable Trust.)
If you can’t make it, please look out for my Give A Little Page (coming soon), or call or email me for information on how to donate.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!
In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.

“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

This issue is packed with good reads and amazing offers from our friends and partners. We take a close look at urban farmer Freeman Farms, and visit an Auckland coastal garden that the owner waited three long decades to create as well as a Dunedin garden where they’ve grown flowers for nearly 50 years. We're still on the hunt for our Houseplant Hero, thanks to our friends at Yates and Kings Plant Barn. Nominations are now open for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year too! There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.

Heavy rain has meant all the water restrictions in the Far North have dropped to level two - which bans sprinklers and automatic hoses. How did the water restrictions impact you over summer and do you think it's far to continue them?
