News and Events at Terraviva
Email Newsletter
We now have a weekly electronic newsletter - we keep it brief and informative. The newsletter is in 4 parts: a short Introduction about current seasonal gardening, New in Stock covering new arrivals in both plant life and homewares, This Week in the Garden to jog your memory about when and what to plant, when to prune etc, and This Week's Specials so you can save $$$ as you enjoy your gardening.
The newsletter is not hard-sell but it's all about Terra Viva as an information centre for keen gardeners. If you'd like to get this up-to-the-minute information on a Thursday afternoon just send off a quick e-mail to peter@terraviva.co.nz.
