Due to the high winds and forecast rain this morning - we are going to move our planting day to the afternoon. New plan:

12pm soup lunch at Moss Hall - 1 Mahunga Drive
1pm project update then planting for those who are happy to.

The forecast suggests the wind and rain will ease after midday. Please feel very welcome to come to some or all of the afternoon events.

Planting day is tomorrow! All welcome :)
