Halswell Christmas Tree
Our annual collection for the Halswell Giving tree is underway.
This year at the Halswell Community Hub we are supporting Housing First Otauhai, local families and Open Home Foundation.
New items only please. Donations of toys/books/games as
always appreciated, we are changing it up a little this year
and looking to put together some bags with essential
items for Housing First. Donations of (new only)
toiletries, sanitary items, socks, underwear,
facial wipes, portable radio's/batteries, grocery vouchers all
much needed. This will make a real difference to those
living it tough on the streets this Xmas.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

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.
