Ruby's Teatowels x Auckland Garden DesignFest
Fantastic to see so many people out last weekend to visit the gorgeous gardens in the Auckland Garden DesignFest presented by GDSNZ & Rotary Newmarket. There was a bit of rain but also lots of sunshine, anyway, gardeners are a hardy lot! 
I was a Saturday volunteer garden minder and foolwoing a request from the girls, Ruby and Noon had a Ruby’s Tea Towel stall set up at the beautiful and historic Cotter House next to the Ellerslie Sunrise Christmas Pudding stall. As well as stock of Ruby’s latest tea towel design, was stock of aprons and tea towels from past designs to sell – and sell they did! It was super busy and luckily Kate Carter from Starship Foundation was there to help - it was a sell out!Special thanks to Kay Madigan and her meticulous organisational skills. Minder instructions were simple and stall set up was easy. Looking forward to the next DesignFest already!
If you weren’t involved this year, I encourage you to help next time. It was a fun experience and they are always short of minders. Sharon Seeto
