Supporting Local Businesses.
Hi there,
If you have a few minutes a week to support a Local Business, please do so. You can do any of the things on this docket or anything else you like to do to encourage interaction going in their direction.
Would love for people to post some recommendations of local companies or people who are in business on this post.

Thanks to all those who support others.
PS: Remember if you see a post on a Facebook business page and you want to give it some organic advertising, simply clicking on the heart or face emoji helps hugely. The thumbs-up is nice but gives no organic points for google to use to put that business front and centre when people are searching.
Happy Nearly Weekend Everyone!
Kind regards Rhonda Diprose

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
