NEV Community Garden
Spring is here! The Garden has daffodils and blossoms are on trees and on the early prunus. What this means for us at the Community Garden is that it's time to be raising seeds, planting out some early ones and sowing seeds directly in the garden beds. We need lots of help and we'd love to see you! You'll see below that now winter is over, we revert to 9am starts on Saturdays, but just come when you are able.
If you feel you would like to take on some more responsibility at the Garden, please let us know.

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)
.
