Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Reserve

As part of this year’s City to Nature Challenge Ōtautahi we ran a Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Nature Reserve in Lincoln. Thanks to everyone that came along to make for a really successful afternoon with around 50 attending; enjoying the hunt for anything that flies, grows, crawls and hides! The different life forms discovered were catalogued via iNaturalist NZ – Mātaki Taiao.

Grateful thanks to Mike Bowie and several Lincoln University students who were the driving force and did all the preparatory work as well as overseeing the activities.

A great project and I am sure that as long as the City Nature Challenge runs, we will continue to run it each year.

Basic Bonsai Workshop

April 29 @ 9:30 am – 1:00 pm

$20

An introductory workshop for beginners presented by Tony Bywater, Christchurch Bonsai Society.

Bonsai is an art form probably started by the Chinese over 2000 years ago, using trees grown in containers or on rocks to represent the beauty and majesty of nature.

Have you ever thought of developing your own Bonsai tree? Come to this workshop to learn how to do it. Watch an ordinary nursery tree turn into a Bonsai, then have a go yourself. Learn what to look for in nursery trees, how to select which branches to keep and which ones to cut off, how to pot it up, and how to look after it. All good fun, and you get your own Bonsai to take home!

The registration fee of $20 covers the cost of the tree, potting mix, grow bags, wire, and morning tea. There is a maximum of 8 places for this popular workshop, so register by contacting our Garden Coordinator, Ruth Wood as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Booking essential contact Ruth Wood, 021 074 3905, ruth.wood@xtra.co.nz
