Neighbourhoods are not designed to encourage communities. Neighbourhood Fruit Picking Pole is a project interested in neighbourhood boundaries (fences, gates, berms etc..) and why we so closely follow the rules laid out by them, when they prevent us from truly connecting with the people in our neighbourhood.

When neighbourhoods are being built around making boundaries, it is important that we have objects and structures (like shared libraries) that neighbours share so they have something they can connect through.

The artist, Jocelyn Glenn, has identified the lemon tree, a common neighbourhood landmark, as an opportunity to form connections and relationships with the people in our neighbourhood. The law states that fruit can only be gathered from your neighbour’s tree if it falls naturally from their property onto the public walkway. However, when a poll was conducted, the general consensus amongst people was that as long as the fruit was outside the property, it was okay to take regardless of whether or not the fruit was still on the branch.

The poll showed that many people don’t follow the rule and continue to forage from their neighbours’ plants despite it being Communal Law. It is a rule that is not strictly followed and is not strictly enforced. So why do we have it? Do we even need it?

In October 2023, Glenn distributed a Communal Fruit Picking Pole in her neighbourhood, Glen Innes. The Fruit Picking Pole is a device the community can use to pick fruit from their neighbour’s lemon trees when the fruit is just out of reach. It is a garden tool that belongs to everyone and comes with instructions on how to use it. It also comes with a map of the lemon trees in the area and encourages that any fruit that is picked should be shared with your neighbours.

Approaching and connecting with our neighbours can be difficult with the way our neighbourhoods have been designed, however with an object that is communal, it acts as an excuse for breaking the established boundaries of our neighbourhoods and meeting our neighbours.

Car Bed

Claire from Meadowbank

Children’s car bed for sale. My son has outgrown his racing car bed so it’s now up for sale.

As per pictures this red car bed looks somewhat like lightning McQueen. Doesn’t come with the mattress in the image (that will be returned to my mum!) but will throw in a foam mattress instead.

As per pictures this red car bed looks somewhat like lightning McQueen. Doesn’t come with the mattress in the image (that will be returned to my mum!) but will throw in a foam mattress instead.

Bed is in reasonable condition however has a few minor marks, and a small chip in the side panel (can be seen above the window in the side of photo) where something fell on it. 2 of the “wheels” are broken but could probably be glued back on. However, we actually only used 2 so it sat flatter against the wall so if you were using it against a wall the broken ones would be surplus to requirements anyway.

Would like it collecting within the next week so open to offers. Will list on trademe tomorrow if not sold prior.

Price: $250
