Garden’s spring festival draws crowds

Tomato seedlings and free ice-creams from Milford business Scrunchy Millers were top drawcards at the annual spring gathering at Grow Forrest Hill community garden. Hundreds attended the day at Seine Reserve, where the next project will be wetland planting on boggy patches in conjunction with Pupuke Birdsong Project.
