Easter weekend is perfect for spending some quality time in the garden. Also known as ‘Nature’s best planting time’, autumn is still warm enough to be outside and getting stuck into planning, tidying and planting.

That’s right, it’s back! Come in store for our famous Easter egg gnome hunt between the 13th and 23rd of April, sign up to the little grower’s club and get a free Easter egg!

Led by New Zealander of the Year Mike King, Gumboot Friday is a day to raise awareness of and funds for much needed free youth counselling.
