Melanomas, in NZ, kill as many people a year as cars do

Marianne Davidson-Beker from Rodney Surgical Centre

Melanomas can occur anywhere on your skin. Sun exposure will increase your risk of developing a melanoma but they can also occur in places the sun never shines.

Melanomas can occur anywhere on your skin. Sun exposure will increase your risk of developing a melanoma but they can also occur in places the sun never shines.

To reduce your risk of all forms of skin cancer minimize your sun exposure. But like all things in life moderation is key. Enjoy the outdoors and sunshine, but cover up and protect yourself as best you can. In addition, maybe once a year get your skin checked.

Also it is wise to have a good look at yourself once a month with the help of the bathroom mirror. You’ll be surprised how good you are at seeing a new or different “mole”. In my experience most melanomas are recognizable by patients before they are lethal.

Come and get yourself checked by our skin specialist - Andrew MacGill

As  Landscaper I grow many of my own plants.  Sometimes have surplus.  I also want to recycle/reuse the myriad plastic pots that 
accumulate.  So put excess plants in pots and sell for small donations.


Currently have 4 Acornus grass spare @$4.00, some black mondo $3.
Some aspidistra  type (good for tall borders and other odds and ends.
Strawberries for 20c small now, all planted in pure compost. Couple of renga renga - $1.
Also several Sedum Mexicana @$3


ALSO: if any neighbours are doing large area plantings I can sometimes have access to big amounts of common landscape plants - i.e. basic clivias, dietes, cannas.  For a reasonable donation I can bring home a quantity.  Usually these are composted or turned into mulch on site.
