Free curtains for Hutt families
Wellington Curtain Bank provides free curtains to families who have Community Services Cards. We’re making it easier for people in the Hutt to access the service this month. Go to Pomare Taita Community House, 55 Farmer Cres, Taita, from Monday, June 19 to pick up an order form. Drop it back with your details and window measurements by Friday, June 23. We’ll make the curtains and drop them back to Community House for you to pick up. For more info visit our website or call us on 0508 78 78 24 x 705. Please note: We have had to change venue as Great Start Taita has closed. If you picked up a form from there, please now return it to Community House.
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.
