Whether it’s a playhouse, she shed or teenager’s sleepout, a stencil-painted floor in Resene Clockwork Orange will elevate it from meh to wow.

Don’t flush wipes, keep workers safe.

Ministry For The Environment

You might be using more wet wipes to keep your home clean, but it’s very important not to flush them afterwards.

You might be using more wet wipes to keep your home clean, but it’s very important not to flush them afterwards.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.

Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

Grateful for our PM 💖🖤

Other countries want her and we are the fortunate ones..
Beautiful on the outside and within..
She's been met with some of the toughest times the country has seen..
Her true compassion and empathy shining bright through her decision making..
Handling herself with such grace and poise..
Don't try and compare her to previous leaders..
For these times are unprecedented..
She's not superhuman so don't expect her to address every issue we have today..
But note one things for damn sure she'll do her best and that's all we can expect of her!!
She's down to earth..Real..Shes not a millionaire..Most importantly she's a woman..
Exactly what we need right now in times of upheaval..
You don't have to agree and I don't care what you think..This is how I feel!
I am grateful for what she does for Aotearoa and I support our PM 💯..xo 💖🖤

Hi there Neighbours!

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?

Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.

Happy raving NZ!

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too). As you’ve probably heard on the news it is a tough time for magazines right now, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our regular readers and (especially!) our subscribers. If you are in a position to subscribe, or share your own love of plants and gardening by buying a subscription as a gift for someone else, then we’d be incredibly grateful: mags4gifts.co.nz.... Stay safe and enjoy the extra time in your garden everyone! Jo

Especially for all the Workers

Marie from Flaxmere

Through the struggle we all suffer from inside our own little bubbles, we need to remember this is the first time where beneficiaries are in a better situation than many who work hard and despite their great efforts they are the ones who are worse off than us because they had to apply for a benefit… View moreThrough the struggle we all suffer from inside our own little bubbles, we need to remember this is the first time where beneficiaries are in a better situation than many who work hard and despite their great efforts they are the ones who are worse off than us because they had to apply for a benefit while the country went into lockdown, i know we all struggle but we need to give a positive prayer to them cos they are the ones who have the most to lose, what is worse is i predict that a recession is going to hit this country once the covid19 is all over cos the economy is at an all time low and is going to take a long time to recover. The last major recession was back in the 80's when the reserve bank refused to print any more money forcing banks to call in all their loans causing many to lose homes and forcing people to work well past their retirement age, that took nearly ten years to recover from and with all the businesses forcing to close their doors for good, it may take us many years to get NZ back to how it was, so to those workers, mechanics, cafes, etc, those who make society tick and are all forced down to where we are, possibly losing homes etc, you are all the bricks to building our economy back up again. so this message is a stay strong, survival prayer to you all

Welcome the Day

Marie from Flaxmere

Welcome Your Day

I go to bed thinking of what to do the next day,
A constant thought that keeps me at bay.
Rises the sun and reminds me of my duty,
For the day ahead I fail to see the beauty.
Life will be so much more wonderful,
If you are not so distressful.
Have a Good Morning 🌞🌞🌞🌞

If money was no object, which house
would you pick to completely redo and make your dream home???
I have always been so intrigued by old abandoned houses. Out in a field all sad looking, abandoned and forgotten. I wish I could go bring them all back to life and
make them pretty again. ❤
