We recently introduced new plants in our nursery, now it's time to spread them into your gardens.
This weekend we present you Dwarf Toe Toe.
It is a popular grass plant native to New Zealand, usually found in our coastal regions. The plant was originally used to line walls and ceilings of early Māori homes.

Currently in our nursery are 68 miniature Toe Toe, also known as Chionochloa Flavicans.
We recommend planting these along hedges or to fill up empty spaces in your garden.

The plant’s most recognisable features are its heavenly cream-coloured plumes and weeping green leaves. They will grow up to 1 metre tall and can support all types of rough weather conditions. Although, perhaps the most appealing aspect of having Toe Toe in your garden is how low maintenance they are. Toe Toe leaves can be left untrimmed and their plumes untouched with little effect on their overall appearance.

So if you’re looking for a native, low maintenance and visually stunning plant, the miniature Toi Toi may be the one for you.

Rugby League: a New Zealand history
Date: Wednesday 12 August 12.10pm - 1pm (Lunchtime talk)
In this talk, historian Ryan Bodman will explore the value of social media as a 21st century history-research tool. Over the past five years, Ryan has been researching and writing Rugby League: A New Zealand History, which is a social and cultural history of the football code in New Zealand. As part of this project, he has developed a social media account under the same name, which promotes public engagement with his research outputs and has brought a collaborative component to his research process. In this talk, Ryan will explore the use of social media in the development of his book, paying particular attention to the value of social media to academic historians seeking to engage with people from outside of the university-setting.

Singing the trail: the story of mapping Aotearoa New Zealand
Date: Thursday 13 August 5.30pm start.
John McCrystal tells the story of Aotearoa New Zealand through its maps – and the stories of the explorers who made those maps
John begins his tale with a focus on oral maps made by early Polynesian and Maori settlers: waypoints, lists of places in songs, chants, karakia and stories that showed direction. Centuries later came the great navigators, Abel Tasman and then James Cook. And finally it was the turn of the surveyors, explorers, rockhounds, gold diggers and politicians to negotiate the internal detail.

Kia ora. Don’t forget that as of this coming Monday 20 July, we will only be accepting plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5 in kerbside recycling, Public Place Recycling bins, and at the Recycle Centre.
Plastic products are marked with a number from 1 to 7 showing what type of plastic it is. This number is usually found inside a triangle on the bottom of the packaging. If you can’t find a number, then it needs to go in your rubbish.

Visit wellington.govt.nz/sortyourrecycling for a full guide, FAQs, and more information about how to sort your recycling.
