Wow … how quickly time passes when you’re just relaxing. Seems just like yesterday that we were finalising the last of the December orders and preparing to take time out. We hope you’ve had an enjoyable and refreshing break as we have and that you are looking forward to the challenges and rewards that are [...]
Our blog has been some what neglected of late as we’ve been frantically busy getting all the December orders made up to be delivered in time for Christmas. This has meant my blogging and garden have taken a back seat. One morning last week I even dragged myself out of bed at 4.30 so as [...]
It took almost a year for the sparrows to discover the four tui feeders scattered around our lifestyle block but once they did they quickly made up for lost time. When tui are about sparrows are unceremoniously chased off the feeders as tui are very territorial and act like a spoilt child who is unwilling [...]
Normally one of these stained tui feeders would set you back $95.00 plus delivery but here’s your chance to get one FREE. No we’re not mad rather just wanting to spread the word about our “World Famous In New Zealand Tui Feeder” All you have to do is visit the the Garden NZ website home [...]

Are you fed up with all the spills and mess you make when refilling your tui feeder? If the answer is yes read on as this will brighten your day. I’ve stop counting the number of times I’ve refilled the 3 feeders we have about the place but the thought has often occurred to [...]
If your enjoy watching the birds as I do you probably wonder what is the easiest way to attract more of them. Recently I made some suet feeders to do just that and was amazed by the numbers of birds that turned up to check them out. As its winter these guys are hungry but [...]
Often when people buy bird houses they ask as to when they should put them up. To this my standard reply is, as soon as you can. No point in storing it your garage even if unlike myself you do have the space. Seriously though the best time to put up nesting boxes has to [...]
I’ve been thinking about writing this post for some time now as I’m sure that there are some shabby looking feeder bottles and broken trays out there.
