Phillipstown Walks
*What places in Phillipstown are special to you?* 😍
.
Phillipstown Community Hub is planning a guided neighbourhood walk event, and we need your help deciding which ‘world famous in Phillipstown’ spots to visit.
We are interested in any suggestions you have - from sites with an interesting history, all the way to street art that makes you smile (Edmonds Gardens & Bronskis dairy have been popular suggestions so far)!
Help us populate our big walking tour map by dropping your suggestions in the comments below.
For the purposes of this event, we are looking for locations between Hereford St, Aldwins/Ensors Rd, Lismore/Laurence St, and Fitzgerald Ave.
If you would be willing to talk about the spots you suggest on our walk, we would love that too! Let us know in your comment if you are open to sharing your story in person, or fill out this Google Doc forms.gle....
The first Phillipstown Guided Neighbourhood Walk is set for late April/early May. Keep an eye on the @PhillipstownCommunityHub Facebook page for more details. See you there!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
