Win! Prizes Over 12 Days of Christmas - Garden-NZ

Expired

WIN! PRIZES OVER 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
On the first day of Christmas, my bit ‘o stuff gave to me...
It’s the same deal every year, we send out hints (and even direct statements) about what we want, what we really, really, want, and instead we’re left unwrapping such ‘goodies’ as socks (of course), some old smellies (what kind of ‘thought’ does that gift convey?), and the latest remixed edition of the Spice Girls Live in Azerbaijan.
Unfortunately, at Garden-NZ, there’s no exception. Yes, we have some great prizes to be won in time for Christmas, but in keeping with the reality of gift-giving at this time of year...
Garden-NZ has 12 (not so flash) prizes to give away!
We’ve assembled a motley collection of prizes, with one to give away each day from December 1 until December 12. Don’t expect fantastic gardening packs however, people, but all prizes should prove useful (unless you really do want a zig-ah-zig-ah!) and we’ll have a bunch of fun along the way.
To enter, simply provide us with a suitable (preferably garden-related) caption for the photo below (either by email to: info@garden-nz.co.nz, or posting on our Facebook page.
The best captions, as selected by our team, will receive a prize.
PLEASE NOTE: To make sure your caption is considered, also click here to complete the entry form.
Best of luck!

Win! Birds of New Zealand: A Photographic Guide - Garden-NZ

Expired

WIN! BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND: A PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE
From remote, country bush to our own backyards, New Zealand is blessed by a plethora of native birds.
Perhaps none appreciates this better than senior curator of natural history at Canterbury Museum, Paul Scofield.
“New Zealand is truly a land of birds, with no naturally occurring terrestrial mammals,” he says. “Birds are the commonest wild animals that New Zealanders will see outdoors – in the bush, taking the dog for a walk or going to the beach.
“When our national parks and recreation facilities are put together and designed, birds are more taken into account than anything else and increasingly tourism is benefitting from our endemic birdlife.”
In his new book, Birds of New Zealand: a Photographic Guide, Paul draws on the latest information from birders and biologists, producing a definitive introduction to the identification and behaviour of this country’s extraordinary avian life.
Birds of New Zealand features all birds that occur naturally, those that have established wild populations and rare visitors. Each entry is dedicated to a single species, with an introduction, photographs, a distribution map.
Complete with stunning photographs by Brent Stephenson, this book is a must have for those with an interest in New Zealand birds or photography.

WIN! NZ BIRDS AND NZ BUGS BY DAVE GUNSON
Let me tell you about the birds and the bugs... on second thoughts, there’s probably no need for us to do so when acclaimed Children’s author, Dave Gunson, can!
As every gardener knows, we share our backyards, and our world for that matter, with a myriad of creatures. With colourful illustrations, these picture books are designed for youngsters aged 2-5 years.
From birds, such as sparrows, tui, fantails and kiwi, to a wide variety of spiders, moths, beetles and butterflies, both NZ Birds and NZ Bugs can help spark imagination and enthusiasm for some of this country’s tiniest of inhabitants.

WIN! AMARYLLIS ROYAL VELVET FROM GARDENPOST
While the bah humbugs may say it’s not yet looking at all like Christmas, maybe that’s because they don’t have their amaryllis good to grow!
Bringing joy into the Christmas garden, these beauties are available now and, the pick of this regal crop has to be Amaryllis Royal Velvet.
Just as its name suggests, these impressive flowers radiate a lush, rich red with darker centres and a velvety sheen. Each stem is crowded with four huge flowers – one of the biggest available – with two to three stems per bulb; that’s up to 12 per plant!
Mother Nature really has used her velvet touch in developing these blooms which provide a show-stopping panorama of colour.
Amaryllis Royal Velvet are superb in pots inside, or outside in warm climates.

Win! A copy of Survivor on the River Kwai - Garden-NZ

Expired

WIN! A COPY OF SURVIVOR ON THE RIVER KWAI
As we approach 100 years since the beginning of the ‘war to end all wars’, Britain will stand still today for a moment of silence at 11am to mark Armistice Day.
In honour of those who served us in the First and Second World Wars, as well as many other conflicts – including those that still rage today – we set down our ploughshares for a moment to take a look at a book written by one of the last men still standing from a devastating war.
Author of Survivor on the River Kwai, the incredible story of life on the Burma Railway, Reg Twigg was called up in 1940. He expected to be fighting Germans, instead he found himself caught up in the worst military defeat in modern British history – the fall of Singapore to the Japanese.
What followed were three years of hell, moving from one camp to another along the Kwai River, building the infamous Burma railway for the all-conquering Japanese Imperial Army.
Some prisoners coped with the endless brutality of the code of Bushido by turning to God; others clung to whatever was left of the regimental structure.
Reg made the deadly jungle, with its malaria, cholera, swollen rivers, lethal snakes and exhausting heat, work for him. With an ingenuity that is astonishing, he trapped and ate lizards, harvested pumpkins from the canteen rubbish heap and, with his homemade razor, became camp barber.
That Reg survived is testimony to his courage and determination, exemplified by his will to beat the brutality of camp guards who had nothing but contempt for him and his fellow POWs. He was a risk taker whose survival strategies sometimes bordered on genius.
Reg’s story is unique. Together with photographs taken during that harrowing time, Survivor on the River Kwai is a notable war story.

Win! Fertiliser prize packs from McGregor's - Garden-NZ

Expired

WIN! FERTILISER PRIZE PACKS FROM MCGREGOR’S
Some gardeners may choose to think outside the windowbox, but, when it comes to fertiliser, Team McGregor’s believes it pays to grow with the grain!
With optimised NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) levels the McGregor’s range of granular fertilisers have controlled release rates to make fertilising easier while liquid fertilisers aid in optimised flowering, fruiting, root establishment and growth.
Just one application of VegeMAX at planting will feed most veggies through to harvest (10-12 weeks) and PlantMAX controlled release plant food provides the strongest possible start for new plants. One application in spring continuously fertilises plants for the first two growing seasons (up to 18 months).
So, armed with the right... stuff... gardeners will be ready to muck in this season!
And, what’s more...
Garden-NZ has fertiliser prize packs for TEN lucky readers!
Each pack includes: a bag of McGregor’s VegeMAX Granular Fertiliser (VEGE400) and a McGregor’s PLantMAX Granular Fertiliser (PLANT400).
