Great working bee yesterday and a huge thank you to our 13 volunteers who helped with a range of tasks. This included deadheading, removing some dead or dying rhododendrons, weeding and general tidy ups around the garden. Autumn colour is looking good particularly in the eastern area.
Our next working bee is June 20th so do come along and join us.
You are welcome to visit at any time with an entry fee of $10 per person. We noted several keruru and plenty of fantail as we worked.

The weather forecast last Saturday deterred a few volunteers from our working bee but still a great group.It turned out sunny until early afternoon so lots of work was done.Huge job harvesting the walnuts which are now being dried and will be sold later in the year as part of our fund raising.Also spreading mulch was continued around trees and on the eastern gardens.
Our next working bee is Saturday May 16th we look forward to seeing anyone who can come along for an hour or several hours anything helps.
We welcome visitors at any time with some autumn colour to come. Entry is $10 per person so do come and take a walk around.

That wind has given us a battering at Heritage Park. Hope everyone is safe and no doubt getting on with clean up. Whilst we haven’t lost any big trees there are lots of branches to clear and pile up ready for mulching. Whilst our working bee is on Saturday 21st we would love any extra help anyone can give that day even if it’s only an hour or two.If anyone is able to help with chainsawing the bigger branches that would be great too.We look forward to seeing anyone who can assist.Come along any time from 9.30 to 12.30.
