Pumpkin Fundraiser!
Kia ora! We have grown a prodigious number of pumpkins for our community.... we'd like to offer these to our wider community as a fundraiser for the Linwood Community Gardens.
So... we'd like to offer these to you for $3 for a medium sized pumpkin and $5 for a large. Medium weigh about 2-3kg and large around 4-5kg. These are lovely Crown-type pumpkins, grown using organic methods - delicious roasted or in soup!
Email Donna at lrcgardens@gmail.com if you'd like a pumpkin or more!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
