DESCRIPTION:On Wed\, June 26\, join our local expert\, Chris Minto\, and volunteers from the Auckland Astronomical Society to learn more about the night sky during the upcoming Matariki period.

SUMMARY:Garden Trim 'n' Tidy
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year again… Green Gorilla flexible bags are now located around the Point so you can tackle weeds and overgrown shrubs\, and get rid of the clippings. Sorry for the late notice about this Garden Trim ‘n’ Tidy – we would love to have been able to let you know earlier so that you could plan ahead for this event but we’re confident you’ll all rise to the challenge to keep our neighbourhood looking its beautiful best! \nThirteen bins are now out and will be collected again in a week or two when full. If the weather is bad next week we’ll keep them out for another weekend to give people a longer window to clip and trim. \nWhere to find them:\n\n \nBin locations \n* Corner Buckley Ave and de Havilland Drive \n* Corner Buckley Ave and Harvard St \n* Station St\, midway along rear stretch \n* Corner Station St and Toheroa St \n* Corner Kittyhawk Way and Meteor Drive \n* Corner Corsair St and Harvard St \n* Onekiritea Road and Chaffinch St by waterpark \n* Corner Ponga St and Kotuku Lane \n* Kanuka Rd\, on the curve by Kotuku Lane \n* Bomb Point Drive\, opposite end of Tuatua Rd \n* Lester St\, halfway along \n* Torea Tai Rd\, close to the petanque area \n* Hastings St\, near the Information Centre carpark \nThey usually fill up fast so\, please\, ONLY GARDEN WASTE\, WEEDS AND FLAX. NO OTHER HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH. \nClip those hedges\, pull those thistles and let’s get our area looking super for summer! \nNB If you’re a landlord with tenants whose rent covers garden maintenance\, remind them too of the need to weed. And if they’re not doing it\, please get it seen to. The neighbours will love you for it. \nBest wishes\, \nHPRS Committee

SUMMARY:Make compost the easy way
DESCRIPTION:If you’re keen to make compost from your kitchen scraps and want to do it in a small-scale kind of way\, you can register for a free Bokashi session at the Catalina Community Garden. It’s on Feb 17\, 10am to 11.30. \nBokashi is a Japanese concept that can be translated as ‘fermented organic matter’. Bokashi ‘pickles’ your food waste\, unlike traditional composting where waste is allowed to decay. It produces nutrient-rich compost that you can dig into your garden. \nJust register here.

SUMMARY:Garden Trim ‘n’ Tidy this weekend
DESCRIPTION:We’re distributing Green Gorilla flexible bags around the Point so you can tackle weeds and overgrown shrubs and get rid of the clippings. \nThirteen bins will go out before the weekend of Nov 3-4\, and will be collected again during the following week. The weather looks pretty bad this weekend\, so if the bins are slow to fill we’ll leave them out over the following weekend too in the hope that some finer conditions will come along. \nWhere to find them: \n \nBin locations \n* Corner Buckley Ave and de Havilland Drive \n* Corner Buckley Ave and Harvard St \n* Station St\, midway along rear stretch \n* Corner Station St and Toheroa St \n* Corner Kittyhawk Way and Meteor Drive \n* Corner Corsair St and Harvard St \n* Onekiritea Road and Chaffinch St by waterpark \n* Corner Ponga St and Kotuku Lane \n* Kanuka Rd\, on the curve by Kotuku Lane \n* Bomb Point Drive\, opposite end of Tuatua Rd \n* Lester St\, halfway along \n* Torea Tai Rd\, close to the petanque area \n* Liquidamber Drive\, rear side close to playground \nThey usually fill up fast so\, please\, ONLY GARDEN WASTE\, WEEDS AND FLAX. NO OTHER HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH. \nClip those hedges\, pull those thistles\, and let’s get our area looking super for summer! \nNB If you’re a landlord with tenants whose rent covers garden maintenance\, remind them too of the need to weed. And if they’re not doing it\, please get it seen to. The neighbours will love you for it. \nBest wishes\, \nHPRS Committee

SUMMARY:Spring Garden Trim ’n ’Tidy - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Update:  \n \n************************************************** \nNow that everything’s growing like crazy\, it’s nearly time for flexible garden waste bins to be placed around the Point so you can weed\, trim and prune and get rid of all the clippings. \nBack in early winter we put out 14 bins\, mostly in older streets where planting has become lush enough to need a trim. Here’s the location map we distributed last time. Bins were dropped where you see red stars marked on the map – and a few of those places were so popular they needed two or three bins.\n \nPlease check out the map. If we did not put a bin near your place last time\, and you think you and your neighbours could fill one\, please email hobsonvillepoint@crockers.co.nz to provide your suggested location and put BIN LOCATIONS in the subject line. We may be able to rejig distribution by spreading the bins around. \nNB The bins are for GARDEN WASTE ONLY\, not ordinary household rubbish. \nBy the way\, we know many of you are keen for the Society to spread the good Berms\, Beers & Barbecue idea (as run by Sunderland A residents) all over the Point. \nWe haven’t had time to organise that but you can do it yourself. If  you share a  laneway\, street or terrace block – why not get your neighbours together that weekend around someone’s barbecue and make it a social event. \nFill a flexibin during the day and\, as the sun sinks\, cook up something tasty for the kids\, share drinks and snacks with your neighbours and reward yourselves for making your street look great! \nGARDENING TIPS \nObviously\, yank out unsightly weeds!. There are thistles and prickly things springing up everywhere – and if you’re living anywhere near a phoenix palm you need to watch out for new spiky seedlings.  They’re easy to dig out when they’re small but very hard to deal with as they get bigger. \nBut even ornamental plants need attention. Beds of pretty dietes lilies have been putting on a great show this spring around Hobsonville Point but their white and purple flowers are now dying off.  If you have them in your garden or in front of your fenceline\, here’s how to have them look just as good next season… \nWhite dietes \nOnce the flowers have turned brown\, those stalks need deadheading. If you don’t trim them back\, the plants will drop seeds and soon you’ll have ever-growing numbers of unruly clumps full of shabby brown stalks. \nThere are many areas planted with hebe’ as well.  Most are New Zealand natives and are pretty hardy but they also benefit from some TLC after their pink flowers have died away. Trimming them back ensures good flowering next spring and also stops them becoming too leggy\, which makes them susceptible to a sucking insect called scale. \nPink hebes \nNow the weather’s warming up (finally!) it’s a good idea to attend to those small tasks and chuck the clippings in the garden waste bins. Date reminder: the weekend of Oct 27-28. \nThis time around\, they’ll be Green Gorilla flexibins.

SUMMARY:Gathering 2.0
DESCRIPTION:We’re looking to the future\nand want your ideas\nDear Residents\, \nYour committee has begun work on a long-term plan for this great place we live in. \n \nWe believe your society needs to have a firm foundation on which to push towards fulfilling our idea of creating the best possible future for Hobsonville Point\, not just short-term but for the next five years or so. \nAt a recent one-day workshop we came up with this mission statement\, which is to build and maintain: \nan embracing\, vibrant\, village style community \nBut the committee doesn’t ‘own’ the society to which we belong. You do. We all do. \nThat’s why we want to hear your views. \nWe have a draft plan we’d like to share with you. We believe it’s important to have not just airy ideas of how we’d like life to be on the Point\, but a sound action plan to ensure projects are managed efficiently and well and we are making best use of the funds to which everyone contributes every year. \nYou are therefore invited to: \nGATHERING 2.0 \nWHERE \nHobsonville Point Primary School \nWHEN \nJULY 22 (next Sunday) 2pm \nEveryone welcome. No need to register ahead of time. NB It’s at the primary school – not the secondary school\, where we had our first gathering in April. \nWe know this is short notice but the end of this committee’s term is approaching and we have a lot to do! Can’t make it? Be assured we will make the draft public so you can offer feedback. Then\, with everyone’s views on board\, we will put the plan to the community for approval at our annual general meeting on October 24.
