TAIRUA TIMBER AND HARDWARE
has set
up a garden centre again much to the delight of
Tairua residents who can now get their ‘green
fix’ right here in town.
Part of the store’s yard is now loaded with
landscape plants, flowers, fruits, veggies
and supplies. Look for the ‘garden lady’ Mel
Anderson (above). She promises a continuous
flow of new stock every week. “And, If you
don’t see what you want, I’ll source it for you.”
Call in at 232 Main Road in Tairua.
Shane Osbourne and Vanessa Coory also
own Cooks Beach Timber and Hardware and
both locations also offer fishing supplies, bait,
camping gear, and bottle airfill/hires.
NOTE: The pair are a ‘Coromandel Couple’ featured
in a previous CL issue:

Tairua couple and their ‘Earthship’ star on...
It’s finished! And the impressive TV episode starring
their home in Hikuai is ‘in the can’ –
Grand Designs
NZ
aired Sunday 11 October.
This is no ordinary home build for Gus and Sarah
Anning-Rowe (left). Their intentionally planned, self-
sufficient ‘off the grid’ Earthship-style 4-bedroom
home recycles such bulk-fill items as dirt-packed car
tyres and bottles which poke brightly through thick
locally-sourced clay/mud walls of the house. Other
walls are stuffed with straw.
They will harness wind and solar for power and the
sun also heats their water and the thick walls, which
release heat back at night.
The project took nine months to build with the help
of over 100 volunteers and ‘learn-the-ropes’ interns.

show, at

warmly at night. Solar panels top the roof.
