An introduction from Al
Hi,
I have been a resident of Mairangi Bay for over 40 years and love it.
Over that time a lot has changed.
For a profession, I am a Gardner/Lawn Mower. That profession has kept me active over the past half decade! I have had numerous clients who are all pleased with my services. But, as expected this number is slowly reducing.
If you are needing this to be undertaken I may be able to assist you.
I have obtained several Certificates in Horticulture and have had a desire for Naturally produced foods foods.
Keep smiling, despite the horrendous weather we have been suffering over the past few days.

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)
.
