#27 Here's
Helen... We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout the year, being interested in our newsletters and taking part in our whacky competitions. Your enthusiasm and support for all that we are trying to achieve is appreciated. It's been a year of transition for our team: Don (Food Industry Programme Manager) to retirement, and Adam (Communications Coordinator) to Aquaculture NZ. We have also co-located with the wider health promotion team at Public Health after moving office twice this year. Fingers crossed that's it ..... for a while at least! Until next time, Helen Helen

Marty.... 
The first potager garden in
Pollard Park appeared in 1994, and now a new expanded model is being
designed and planted by the Marlborough DIstrict Council. Project
leader Rachel Hutchinson is really excited about the new garden and how it
links to the other gardens of Pollard Park. "The garden is designed
to be a similar size to your general back yard vegetable garden," ...
It's planting time - Club Mapua has
launched its annual Giant Pumpkin Growing competition, now in its fifth

Summer heralds an abundance of
seasonal vegetables in the garden and this month's feature recipe,
