Rural Life exhibition opening at the Coach House Museum, Feilding

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

You are invited to join Manawatu artist Graham Christensen at the opening of his latest exhibition 'Rural Life' at The Coach House Museum, 121 South St, Feilding on Friday the 1st of December at 5.30pm.

Graham has lived the majority of his life on and around farms within the Manawatu/Rangitikei region and, now retired, lives on a farm near Ashhurst and paints from a large light-filled studio – fittingly, a converted room at the back of the barn.

In this exhibition Graham takes his lived experience and captures moments in time that many of us will recognise from our own memories of rural New Zealand.

Wine, non-alcoholic drinks and grazing platters will be provided. Entry to the Opening Celebration is free (museum entry fees will apply outside of this event).

The exhibition runs until the 28th of February 2024.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
