Our final working bee for 2023 was held on Sunday, 10 December when, along with members of the Leigh community, we distributed mulch around the native plants which were planted in June this year on the foreshore near the bottom of Tenetahi Rd.

Thanks again to Kate McConnell and James Ross for selecting the plants and deciding on the planting layout. There has been an excellent survival rate due to Kate and James’s invaluable input and because we have had such a wet spring.

The area is going to look fabulous in a few years’ time, particularly with Kate’s plans to add further native shrubs.
