One the first projects in 2010 has been expanding and revitalising our Volunteer House gardens.  We’ve added cow poop, seaweed and ‘duck sludge’ which is gooey goodness from our new pond, fertilised by a variety birds including Pateke  – the rare brown teal that has been nesting there since Spring.

Not many gardens have the honour of being fertilised by endangered ducks – but there you have it!
