We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.
Hi everyone, hope you are staying safe and sane during lockdown!
Just a reminder we are available for emergencies during level 4 and we are back to full speed when we get to level 3
Hope to see you all soon

Dear neighbours,

From species monitoring to predator management and forest regeneration, our expert rangers work hard to ensure that vulnerable species like the tītipounamu/rifleman will still be here spreading into neighbouring forests and your backyards for generations to come.
But, we need your help to continue. Your donation will support our conservation and infrastructure teams to keep the valley safe and help the wildlife to thrive! Please donate today.
Thank you,

"Bush robins/toutouwai (Petroica longipes) have an open heart, they roam tramping tracks without fear because it doesn’t occur to them to be afraid. They have no armour on their personalities. If they were humans they would help you change your tyre and laugh about the experience.
They will stand on your shoes if you sit too long. And rummage inquiringly while you unpack your pack. I read once that the open-hearted will inherit the Earth. I hope it’s true – that it is better to be possibly hurt than hardened. But the open-hearted are often preyed upon by the ambitious. It might be why the robin is at risk and declining – he’s just a little too trusting of those that would eat him. Bushy Park, July 2021."

Just a wee reminder that glass will NOT be collected while we are in Level 4.
The Delta variant is highly transmissible, and glass recycling is predominantly bottles which may carry saliva residue.
Please do not put your glass crate out for now 💚
