Gardening with Mrs Martyn

We were really pleased to have Mrs Martyn in the Matai Hub today to help us transplant some of our seedlings into the tubs and pots that people have provided for us.  We were very aware of the safety precautions when working with potting mix.  Mrs Martyn told us all about seedlings that need to grow in a hot house and ones that can be planted outside.  You can come and check out our pots all planted outside the Clearing.
