8 Drawer Chest of Drawers

Currently Agapanthus is setting seed everywhere and thereby becomes a danger for the environment, as it is actually an invasive weed. Put the seeds in the yellow sacks for kerb collection (remember: only 10% garden waste is allowed in these bags!) or dispose larger amounts at garden waste at the tip. (Do not home compost them!)This would help prevent this plant from settling where it should not be. For further details see the attachment here or our facebook page. Karori Kaitiaki
