​Mosaic Garden Update
​
I am very excited about the next stage of the Mosaic Garden.  We have planted the entire border with native trees, with the help of school children from Papatoetoe High School who also grew many of the trees from seedlings.  With the wonderful summer of rain and sun all the trees are flourishing and we are just waiting for winter to arrive so we can fill some of the gaps.  But in the meantime I am beginning the interior design process.  I have decided on a "room" design.  Each "room" will be a different theme and first up will be a Mexican Themed garden.  I have already created the mosaics and have gathered the plants, just waiting on hubby to build the structures.  He will tell you he is waiting on me to put my plan down on paper, so I guess I had better do that!

Hopefully when the next newsletter comes out I will have something more interesting in the garden!!!                                    
New Zealand Mosaic Art Update
Plans for the national exhibition being held at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa are progressing very well.  We now have three workshops planned and two speakers for the symposium.  The three workshops will cover: Glass cutting tools, Reverse method and the use of mesh,
