This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.

Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday

To the person or persons whose dog* left a steaming fresh turd in the middle of the footpath outside Tatua Ink in Great North Road in Avondale less than fifteen minutes ago.

Don’t worry, someone else will clean up after you, like they always do.

The socially responsible thing to do is to pick your dog’s* defecatory deposits and dispose of them, but, nah, it’s all good, some other dumb bugger will do that, why should you bother?

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Sort yourself out.

* note that I’m being charitable and assuming thus crap came from a canine - I wouldn’t be surprised if it was from a human, frankly.

Aucklanders have saved 100 free-range egg hens from slaughter.

Homes have been found for the brown shaver hens which were due to be culled on a free-range farm in the region.

Animal refuge New Beginnings Rescue and Rehoming​ had until Friday to find homes in Auckland for the brown shavers, which at 18 months old were moulting and having a breather from egg laying.

Chickens live eight years on average but hens only productively lay eggs in the first two years of their lives.

Dani ​Prance, who runs the refuge in Taranaki and Auckland’s Rodney District, said the hens were adopted by families in homes ranging from townhouses to big farms.

Prance said she was thrilled the rescue was over.

“Those girls now all get to enjoy a forever home where they can eat loads of bugs, have dirt baths and a lot of grass.”

She said three quarters of the birds were re-homed on Saturday and the rest on Sunday.

“Once the last girls were gone it was time to clean up the equipment we transport in and then finally get some proper sleep.”
