Dear neighbours,

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.

Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

If you are thinking of signing up for an apprenticeship, get in touch with us here

Covid update

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Unfortunately, it’s not looking good. RNZ has reported there are Delta cases in Wellington.

But we got this team. We’ve done it before, we can do it again. Let’s show the rest of the world how to do it right.

Masks up, sanitiser at the ready, and by now we all know how far 2 metres is.

Unfortunately, it’s not looking good. RNZ has reported there are Delta cases in Wellington.

But we got this team. We’ve done it before, we can do it again. Let’s show the rest of the world how to do it right.

Masks up, sanitiser at the ready, and by now we all know how far 2 metres is.

And if you find you are struggling, you aren’t alone. Check up on each other.

If you see, or even have a feeling, that someone is struggling, reach out. Don’t just assume someone else will. That’s called diffusion of responsibility, and it’s, sadly, what leads to no one doing anything to help.

Even if you think someone else will help, offer. You may be the only one.

We are stronger, better, together apart.
