Why Mid Canterbury?

P.A.

2 years

Murray Young Mid Canterbury has, over 12 months, experienced more than our fair share of sad events and as a small community these events have a profound effect not only on those directly effected but also the wider community.

we take the time to actually look at what makes Mid Canterbury such a great place to live.

and diverse ranges of agricultural activities backed up by strong support networks of associated businesses.

There are the obvious things, such as we have a great climate, cool winters, warm summers. We have a number of lakes and quality rivers available for all sorts of sporting and recreational purposes and all just a short drive to access.

We are located close to Port Lyttleton and to Port Timaru and also very handy to Christchurch International airport, making it easier to access international markets than many of our competitors.

We have numerous golf courses and bowling clubs dotted throughout the district and available without the need to book spots days ahead. We have a world class skifield (Mt Hutt) right on our back door step. We have a new swimming pool/sports complex which provides all weather facilities for a number of sports. As well as many other sporting and cultural clubs/activities way to numerous to mention.

We have excellent educational facilities located in convenient places throughout the district. We are often asked by new folks to our district We are not immune from the many about the quality of our education social issues that effect towns and providers in particular about the cites throughout the country but what quality of our primary schools and does make us stand out is the way we, “hand on heart� the feedback we hear as a community deal with these issues, about the local schools is, without often it is only when some adverse exception, very positive. news makes national headlines that We have extremely productive

OPEN HOMES

But more importantly than all of these things are the people of Mid Canterbury. The 32,000 odd people and counting who have already chosen to make Mid Canterbury their home.

Whether born and bred in the district or being one of those that have moved into the region and stayed, we are proud to call Mid Canterbury our home.

Why would you not want to live and bring up your family in Mid Canterbury?

Is it time for a new kitchen?

Dual purpose creeping thyme thyme. It tastes and can be used in just the same way as regular thyme but it’s also excellent grown as ground cover or lawn.

Unlike standard thyme, which grows up, creeping thyme spreads out along the ground making it perfect for filling in gaps in your garden or lawn. All it needs is some welldrained soil in full sun to light shade.

When you’ve found the right spot for your creeping thyme, also known as wandering thyme, jump online and order some seedlings from awapuni.co.nz. If you need any new gardening tools or accessories, like gloves, you can also grab some from the new garden products section of our online store. Alternatively, pick up your seedlings from our stands when you’re next at your local supermarket or Bunnings.

Then simply plant your wild creeping thyme plants around 20-30cm apart from each other.

You can harvest your thyme straight away but it’s best to give it some time to get established. The longer you leave it, the more leaves you’ll have to harvest later on. Then in spring and after flowering, give it a prune to help maintain it’s compact appearance.

Phone Jill to arrange your FREE in-home kitchen consultation.

Outdoor decor

On leave without leaving home Make your backyard a haven this summer, a place to enjoy by yourself or with family and friends.

Many people spend their summer holiday at home - and if your backyard is an attractive spot, it can be a great holiday destination. You don't have to spend money on petrol or fancy hotels. Just open the door and there you are.

So, how do you make your backyard a relaxing, fun refuge?

Yes, making your backyard a wonderful haven will cost some initial dollars, but it will be there for you year after year, so think of it as an investment.

Blood Brothers is a story of family, unconditional love and the ties which bind us all.

It takes audiences on a journey with the people of working class Liverpool from the 1960s through to the 1980s. At its centre is the tale of fraternal twins; two boys separated at birth end up at opposite ends of the social spectrum with heart wrenching consequences.
