donation of plants appreciated ;-)

Koko from St Heliers

Our complex has a huge back yard untouched for possibly decades till I started to pull all the weeds last year. Now it is ready for preferable plants (I mean, instead of ginger etc which were there to completely take over the piece of land..). If anyone has any plants for us to take over, please let me know.

-both that loves shades, and that loves sun,
as we have sunny areas and shady areas.
-preferably NZ native
-already grown up tree with edible fruit would be fantastic!! 😉
-feijoa, lemon, orange, peach .. 🤤
-we prefer fern, palms, panga, coprosma etc (evergreen plants) to flowers
-plants that are not high-maintenance, as we are not good at maintaining them 🙈

Videos show how the piece of land is looking like now.

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.
