Sweet box's seasonal surprise

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Some of the best scents in the garden are to be found in midwinter, usually from the likes of wintersweet and daphne.

Only rain down the drain

The Team from Wellington Water

We’ve had a lot of rain recently, and all of this rain has washed what was on peoples lawns, berms, driveways, streets and in the gutters, into our stormwater network.

The water entering our stormwater network does not get treated, this means EVERYTHING flows directly into our streams, rivers, and eventually our ocean.

Put any ‘waste’, such as cigarette butts, dog poo, or rubbish, into a rubbish bin.

Let’s all look after our waterways, and remember only rain down the drain.
