Love your backyard this Conservation Week
We Kiwis love our backyard. Whether it's our own gardens, parks or our big Kiwi backyard. Because we love it, we want to take care of it. Conservation Week is a great time to show our backyard some love.
There's plenty of ways for you and your family to take part, and we’ll be adding more local events soon. For information on backyard activities and events near you, visit: www.conservationweek.org.nz....
Plus, keep an eye out for our photo competition details coming soon!

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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.
