Description
Hi. I am Judy. My husband Dennis and I live in a beautiful, tranquil setting on 1/3 acre in the heart of New Plymouth. We border on native bush reserve so are blessed with many native birds. We love growing fruit trees and vegetables and flowers. We are rearranging the garden so we can grow lots. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Kind regards, Judy
