Well that Winter chill has sure arrived in the Waikato and although for the most part things are beginning to go into hibernation mode in the garden, we are busily potting up our Spring bulbs and excitedly awaiting the first flowering of many new Orchid varieties for use in our arrangements over the Winter months. We have also expanded our range of foliage plants, and have been busy planting these out in the garden. A beautiful Tui is joining me in the garden most days, treating me with a beautiful song while I work, and there are lots of Fantails flitting around, much to the joy of my three year old, who has been my wee helper in the garden, and who loves to say “That’s a piwakawaka mummy!!”
