Thank you so much to Westpac NZ for this generous Donation 🫶 It was such a nice surprise ❤️it’s perfect timing too as we needed some new Garden gloves and a few day to day items to make life easier in the gardens. 🥰 now here is an idea a pair of Gloves with a double layer on the main weedy fingers 🥳a bit like the double cloth on the knie area on trousers 🤔or is that a us problem ?

It can get a bit crazy before Open day😅 so good to have a little break and see whats going on down the road at Te Waka Aroha St Faith's. It was a full house or Church concert ☺️ most people know Reuben Davidson MP for Christchurch East ,this concert was in his support and a good reminder how lucky we are to live in a country were we get to VOTE so lets not take this for granted.There are heaps of opportunities to speak to candites all
over the city so make the most of it.
Anyhow Reuben has a rather talented brother in Delaney Davidson who performed with Heather Webb, also Very talentent with a most amazing voice,in a stunning venue with great accustics. It really was great. Huge respect to any artist who shares their heart and soul and education (You had to be there to get this one!) through Music.
On a more funny note Mr Delaney was telling us he got some tomatoe seedlings at our last Open day 😎 Thanks for the shout out 🙂That was very kind☺️ We are glad The tomatoes did so well 🥰 so here is a little secret for this years crop good soil and a little love and kindess and if you are blessed with a voice of an angel maybe sing to your seedlings too🤔🤗🤭
