Crop Swap Feb
Next Crop Swap is on this Sunday 4th Feb at Waimarama Community Gardens, starting at 10.30 sharp.
We are part of the national organisation. Crop Swaps take place all around NZ, first started in Taranaki 14 years ago and still going strong. For the purpose of swapping harvests from our gardens. If you have too many zucchinis or citrus fruit bring them along and take home other beautiful produce, maybe fresh fruit or vegs or preserves or plants and seedlings. Always something good to choose from.
Also a social event to catch up with friends and like-minded people. We want more people to benefit so bring your friends, neighbours and kids along too.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
