Parents at Opaki School have been busy making preparations for this year's garden party plant sale - one of the school's major fundraisers.
So far parents have potted up 3000 plants from cuttings and seeds, however they aim to have more than 4000 plants available for sale at the garden gala being held at the school on Sunday, November 3.
Event organisers Erica Kinder and Pam Blackburn say the planting team has been working hard to have a wide range of stock.
"We will be selling some of the firm favourites from last year's successful event such as roses, clivias, peonies and irises, as well as a terrific range of herbs and vegetables," says Erica.
"We will also have a much wider range of flowering plants for garden lovers."
