Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge!

Hutt City Council

The competition’s heating up for Lower Hutt’s Coolest drink this summer! From 13 to 30 January, 17 local cafés, restaurants, bars and bakeries have their own cool creations on offer as part of the 7th Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge.

Do you fancy cooling down with a Pokémon ‘Charizard’ inspired fruit slushy? Perhaps a ‘Squeeze the Day, Nothing is Impopsicle’ kiwifruit, lime and ginger number is your ideal refresher under a shady spot? There’s something for everyone amongst 17 options. One thing’s for sure though, we need your help to choose 2022’s coolest drink! Customers can vote for their favourite drink by scanning the QR code located in each café, or on the Cool As Challenge Facebook or Instagram pages.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.
