Seasons grief, loss and change support programme
We are here to help!
Have you lost someone who has been special to you?
Maybe they have passed away, developed a serious illness or developed a disability that has changed your life style Maybe you have separated, moved to a new area or experienced some other major change in circumstances, or such like that have caused you some grief or anxiety.
We run a 5 week Seasons programme for adults – one evening a week. We will be starting a new group this week and you are most welcome to come along and see if this programme works for you. There will be two facilitators and a small group of around five or six people discussing the various topics relating to these significant changes, while learning some strategies that may help you.
Registration is essential.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
