A million trees

Communications Team from Auckland Council

Over the past three years, we have undertaken to plant one million mainly native trees and shrubs across Auckland. It was an ambitious undertaking but this year, we will not only hit a million trees mark, but we will also exceed it by one hundred thousand.

By achieving this we have helped make our city a greener and more pleasant place. Join us at our Matariki public planting sessions at Hunua Domain (Sat 18 May), Totara Park (Fri 14 and Sat 15 of June) and Metro Park East in Silverdale (Sun 29 June). Find out more

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Seeking house sitting with a cat

Marissa from Remuera

Hi, I'm interested to house sit for anyone around Remuera or nearby suburbs over the holiday weeks. 🎄🎁
I have a cat I'd like to spend time with as I'm not allowed to have him where I live currently.
My cat minder is going overseas for three weeks from 22 December 2024.
I'm honest, respectful of others privacy and property. I'm very clean and tidy and I will happily do jobs like basic garden work while you're away to keep busy. 🙂
I'm keeping options open reaching out on Neighbourly as well as signing up on a house sitting website.
If you or you know of anyone who's looking for a house sitter please feel free to contact me on the below.

WhatsApp or mobile: 0212925444.
