Sprig + Fern Tawa – craft beer and great entertainment

You can always count on something fresh and new from behind the bar at the Sprig + Fern Tawa!

The Sprig + Fern Tawa is a quaint little community pub, with a full range of pub food & snacks and 16+ taps pouring the latest offerings from Nelson’s own Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. The Sprig Tawa has something for everyone.

Their current batch brew is Hum Zinger a premium lager with ginger root. It is a limited release so get into it while you can.

A nice way to while away a few hours is to get together with friends or family in the Sprig’s spacious garden area out the back in the warm sunshine. To add to the atmosphere musician Paddy McCann will be playing some easy-listening hits. Paddy will be playing on the last Sunday of the Feb, March & April.

Sprig + Fern Taverns are all comfortable, clean, uncluttered, yet cosy. They’re small and personal, and encourage responsible drinking, whilst having a great time with friends and family.

Each of the Taverns is independently owned and operated by people who live in the community that they serve.

The Innkeeper – a cozy and ambient bar

Now is the time to reconnect with friends, family and co-workers in a beautiful pub setting, where the staff are eager to learn your name, and prepare your favourite drink from their extensive range!

The restaurant features hand-cut steaks, roast beef, pork belly, mouthwatering burgers, the best fried chicken, and plenty of kids’ meal options.

They specialize in catering for large groups, fundraisers, and birthday parties. Contact them today to organise your next outing!

Enjoy a Guinness, craft beer, or top shelf spirits at a bar leaner or on the couch by the fireplace.

We are Johnsonville’s favourite local, now in our 24th year of trade!

Signs for the Fragrant Garden

When the Onslow Garden Club was formed three years ago, one of its aims was to contribute to horticulture in the Wellington area. At the end of last year the Club donated money for new signs to be displayed in the Fragrant Garden at the Wellington Botanic Garden. Designed to be read as the visitor wanders through the garden, the attractive, circular metal signs explain the interaction of bees with colour, scent and plants. The signs were designed by Clare Shearman, the Botanic Gardens’ Plant Collections Manager.

Last week Onslow Garden Club committee members were invited to the Fragrant Garden to help Clare and Kate Roud, the Gardens’ Team Manager, to choose the best spots to place the signs. After much discussion the sites were chosen, the signs positioned and then admired. Make sure you look out for them next time you’re there!
