The winter chill is certainly with us now as the mercury drops and we need to put on a few more layers of clothes.

It certainly is now officially “Winter” as I am sure you will all know but it is not the time to hang up your gumboots or store away your garden tools. There are still jobs to be done and much to be enjoyed. It is also the time now to be checking out our website hurunuigardenfestival.com

The stunning colours of autumn are starting to fade and blow away as we move into Winter with June officially being the beginning of our colder months. Growth in the garden slows due to less sunlight from now on. Maybe it is the same for us humans as we tend to hide indoors a bit more over the colder months.

It is May already and the autumn colours are looking superb around the Hurunui district. Since our last newsletter, Hurunui Garden Festival Inc. have held our AGM. It is a pleasure to introduce our committee for 2022/2023.
