Gallery artist, Julie Mello continues to sell paintings of her time spent in the Waikato. In her own words. "I remember first moving to New Zealand and settling in the Waikato region… I had never seen poplar trees before. I was, and still am, quite captivated by them. I always pay attention to them when I see them in a paddock somewhere - at any time of year". Poplar Stand now sold as a gift for a departing Executive from one of the organizations that the Trust supports each year.
