The holiday break is an essential time for children to recharge and take a mental break from the daily routine of schoolwork and busy daily agendas. It is when children have the right to relax, unwind, and 'choose' to engage in activities that they like.
At Conscious Kids 'holiday' break is respected and valued. Children have time and space to explore or try new activities that they wouldn't have had time for during the school year. This exploration can lead to developing new skills and interests + supporting their personal growth and well-being.

I want to make people aware of my new garden/vegetation management service, primarily consisting of chemical-free weed-control, ie handweeding ( including hand tools where needed) for ecological restoration, ie turning a weedy mish-mash into intact plant communities native to our local forests, forest edges, streamsides and wetlands.
I produce self-managing wild plant communities free of environmental weeds, using detailed knowledge of our locally native plants at all stages from seeds and seedlings through to maturity, including trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, groundcovering creepers, grasses and mosses, so I very rarely need to buy or plant anything.
The service is aimed at those with a bit of rough land, who are aware of the potential beauty of restoration but can't do it all themselves.
So, how to find those people and let them know I am available to do the work or show them how?
I have done a few letter-box flyer drops, trying to reach the neighbourhoods around natural Reserves, but most mailboxes (like my own:) say "No junk mail" or similar.
To make promotion even more challenging, there isn't even a name for this sort of service for private properties, as it hasn't existed until now, as far as I know. I call it "Chemical-free weed control for ecological restoration", but it also involves landscaping and soil care.... improving soil structure, making sustainable paths, tidying up the surrounding area, etc, as required.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...the council weed spraying contractor actually fired the wand from within his vehicle as he drove past my house. I have CCTV so I have the footage.
He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.

He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.
So here's the mighty Auckland Council who don't even think we have a right to know they're spraying us so no forewarning and trying to tell us their contractors are trained and certified and bla bla and then I see that. It was about 0830 this morning when the kids were coming to school at Target Road.
If I hadn't seen that and took my dog for a walk...you get my point.
We need to get these people under control. Never mind the weeds!

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.
We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

Unstructured Play in Nature is the best way for children to develop their physical skills, as it provides them with a variety of opportunities to move their bodies and engage in physical activity. By engaging in outdoor play regularly, children can build their strength, endurance, balance, coordination, and overall physical well-being.
- Balance and coordination: Nature offers many different surfaces and terrain, such as rocks, logs, and hills, which can challenge children's balance and coordination as they navigate their way through these obstacles.
- Strength and endurance: Climbing trees, hiking through trails, and other outdoor activities can help children build their strength and endurance, which can improve their overall fitness and well-being.
Gross motor skills: Running, jumping, throwing, and other physical activities that are common in outdoor play can help children develop their gross motor skills, which are essential for movement and physical activity.
- Fine motor skills: Even simple activities like picking up stones, twigs, and leaves can help develop children's fine motor skills, as they use their fingers and hands to manipulate objects and explore their environment.
