School holiday puppetry workshops for kids!
Come join Ifat Vayner and EarthDiverse for our two half-day School Holiday workshops, the first for kids ages 10-15 (Monday 11 July 2022, 10am-1pm), and the second of kids ages 8-11 (Tuesday 12 July 2022, 10am-1pm).
Chef Jacques and Loco the Taco are both coming to explore the kitchen with all the creative tools they've got! In each workshop we'll create a muppet (mouth puppet) and learn how to move the puppets in short scenes. No previous art experience necessary. All materials included. This course is offered as an in-person workshop only.

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.

Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?
It’s “tough” running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.
These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but they’re challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.
Do you go to live music gigs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
