House & Garden Tour

The sun shone on the 250+ visitors who participated in the weekend's house and garden tour of Cromwell and surrounding areas. In a well orchestrated tour, participants were given maps which directed them around the 12 homes in a steady stream meaning that crowds did not build up in one place and people had plenty of time to wander round each home and garden.

Leader of the organising team Rotarian Paula Jackson was delighted with the success of the day. 'We could not have done it without the huge generosity of the 12 home-owners and the willingness they showed to open their homes to the passing parade of interested ticket-holders. It means that all the ticket money will be going to St John for their new building."

She estimates that the proceeds will be in the vicinity of $13,000 and sincerely acknowledges the home owners as well as all the local businesses who sponsored all other elements of the tour.

Please email Paula with any feedback

Sponsors of the event were Harcourts, Feldwick Insurance, NZ House Surveys, Begg Security, Aitken Joinery, Golden View Lifestyle Village, Guthrie Bowron, Trends Kitchen, John Wekking Electrical, Shoes Unlimited, Metro Graphix, Nichols Garden Centre. Many many thanks to you all.

Deadman's Bridge weeding

Rotary Point at Richards Beech

Our work with the Mokihi Trust down along the Lake edge now has its own marker ! On Oct 2 Finn and Denis cemented our wonderful purpose made sign in place so that runners and walkers using the track can see what we've been up to in the general beautification initiative in the area. Good work guys ;))

Gardening in support of the Cancer Society

In September we had Monique Harvey, Supportive Care Services for the Central Lakes Cancer Society, speak at one of our meetings. Following on from this she asked us to help in two private gardens in Cromwell. A lovely way to spend our usual meeting night - gardening for some very grateful members of our community in their time of need. 🌱👍

Lakeside Clean Up

It was great to be part of an awesome community event with the Lakeside clean up. Deadman's bridge was our area of focus this year. Thanks to Cromwell Rotary members & friends who helped, along with Mokihi Trust members.
