Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st ๐
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnโt the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itโs the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 20 - 30th March. This yearโs theme is โThe Great Plant Swapโ - as an easy way for our neighbourhoods to grow stronger together. If youโre hosting an event, make sure to register it on their website: neighboursday.org.nz/join-in
Show us how youโre celebrating community this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

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.โ

One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to โstep around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."โ

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.
