This is one post I just had to share!!

Congratulations TerraFleece

What an awesome award to win 🙂

How’s this for a genius idea! 👏
These bright sparks from Stratford High School are using wool to create plant pots, replacing single-use plastic seeding pots.
We picked the Terra Fleece students for the YES Taranaki Sustainable Business Award and the team can be rightly proud of their project which combines environmental responsibility with practical, regenerative design. 💚
By using wool, nutrients are naturally released into the soil as the pot breaks down, delivering benefits well beyond planting.

📸 The team includes Conrad Harvey, Mattheo Van Rheede Van Oudtshoorn, Rigter Van Rheede Van Oudtshoorn, Joseph Williams, Pippa Dudley and Lucas Perrett (not all featured in the photo). Inset is the fleece.

It seems we are having a late summer!!! Which is great for sunny days even though they are not as long as we like.
But because there is no snow up on that hill, it means our rivers are running low. So please remember to only water on the correct days.

We thought we might make it through this year 😭

Level 1 Water Restrictions will begin Wednesday 18 March (tomorrow) and remain in place until further notice for all residential properties on the Stratford, Toko, and Midhirst water supplies.

We're moving to restrict water because flow levels in the Pātea River are low and continuing to drop, and we've got a period of fine weather forecast - so it doesn't look like rain is coming to the party anytime soon.

During Level 1:

🔴 There'll be a total ban on sprinkler and irrigation systems, and unattended hoses
🟠 Handheld hoses can be used based on your house number: even numbered houses on even days and odd numbered houses on odd days
🟢 Please save water where you, check for leaks, and find easy water‑saving tips at Stratford.govt.nz/SaveWater

Tag a mate who you would like to take with you and I’ll draw the winners on Thursday evening.

My daughter is part of the Stratford High Relay for life team again this year.
Cancer has affected my family and I and I know it has affected so many others.

If you would like to make a donation I’ll add the link to my daughter’s page in the comments.
