Glasshouse how-to for home gardeners
20 August 2012
When is a glasshouse not a glasshouse? When it’s allowed to deteriorate into a dingy storage shed full of dirty pots,
mould and algae.
A free workshop at Tupare in New Plymouth on Sunday (26 August) will not only offer tips on looking after your
glasshouse, but will also cover clever ways to use it.
The workshop will take place in the glasshouse at Tupare, where Garden Manager Mitch Graham will explain how proper care
and correct know-how can create a year round haven for healthy plants and pleasant gardening.
He will also discuss how glasshouses can be used to help maintain colourful interest in the home garden all year round.
Sunday’s workshop will run from 2pm to 4pm. It is part of a year-round programme of events at Tupare, Pukeiti and
Hollard Gardens, the three heritage properties owned and administered by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the
people of the region.
