Speaking on Nature
This month we have Nelson Pomeroy coming to talk about the humble bumblebee.
It's the story of a keeper of bumblebees, of the bumblebee life cycle, bumblebees as a pollination industry, and bumblebee conservation. Nelson has a strong academic background studying bumblebees which will make for fascinating insights into this much loved insect.

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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
