Op-Shop Open
Hello! Just a message to let everyone know that our little animal rescue charity op shop is still open! We have been made aware a lot of people believe we have closed down but we haven’t!!
Located at 2181 East Coast Road, 4 Paws Pet Care charity shop and desex clinic is open Monday Wednesday 10-4 and Friday 10-2 with the clinic operating on Tuesdays.
We are all volunteers including the growing team of veterinary staff and all funds made in the shop and the clinic go towards reducing desex costs for local rescues and people in need to help the animals have a better quality of life!
Lots of amazing goods in our shop all for very reasonable cheap prices!!
So come in and have a look and support our animals!!
We are also looking for more volunteers to get us open more days during the week if anyone would like to volunteer with us!!
thanks and look forward to seeing you guys in store!
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.
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.
