Kiwi Gardener - June 2025

In this issue

It’s time for our annual Bird Photo Competition – and it’s the ideal time of year to snap a shot of your favourite Kiwi bird. Our June issue has all the entry information you need to know to enter to win some fabulous prizes – and perhaps grace a future cover of the magazine! We have plenty more going on in this issue too, including a roundup of this month’s top tasks in the garden, advice on growing garlic and all you need to know for a thriving rhubarb crop. Plus, we have edible landscaping ideas, suggestions for plants for the boggiest corners of the garden, and tips for tending winter fruit. Remember also to look to the skies later this month, when the Matariki star cluster will appear to welcome the Māori New Year. Mānawatia a Matariki!

Kiwi Gardener Magazine Description:

Kiwi Gardener is a growing resource for all gardeners. Every issue provides the advice that enables Kiwi gardeners to get the most out of their plants, throughout the seasons. Features on growing plants (natives, flowers, trees) and edibles (vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs) are presented as guides to all that can be added to the garden that month. While inspiring feature gardens, community gardens and articles on everyday Kiwi gardeners show us how it’s done.
