So why don't they set up a system where your enter your details at home on the covid site. When your details are entered you get a confirmation text code and/or a bar code. So when you get to the testing station you only need to give the code. A system like when you buy event tickets or airline tickets. Your thought please.

Dear neighbours,

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.

Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

Before it goes off to the dump, would anyone be interested in re-using any or all of the materials (they would have to dismantle themselves)? It would make for a great tree house! 🔨🌳🏠

Hi Neighbour,

Here we go again. Hope you are looking after those in your bubble and keeping safe.

If you need a bit of distraction from the confines of lockdown, this could be the perfect time to keep learning through what can be pretty tough times.

Right now many will be tuning in online, so why not brush up on skills to learn how to make an impact with your business digitally.

First impressions count. In fact, they say you only have 3 seconds to make a good one. So, slick images are crucial.

Flipping the perfect patty is quite a skill, so too is producing snappy images - local business Burger Burger can do both with ease. They’ve done away with traditional advertising and instead engaged its customers with vibrant and interactive content.

Watch their story here to find out how they get more digital bang for their marketing buck.

Then get started yourself and join us at Digital Boost to get going with our free videos and resources!
