We are settled in our wonderful new shop at 52;Vanguard St. It’s been a mission and I would like to publicly thank all my staff for the patience and extremely hard work while we navigated all the changes. Also thank you to the public for your continued support.
This week we have half price on all our books plus a wonderful selection of kids books at 5 for $1.
Come on in and check out our new store and get some holiday boredom busters for the kids, including a huge selection of dress ups.
We have wonderful winter clothing going out daily, kids, womens and men’s. Plus check out our designer, woollen and merino rack.
Our new store hours are Monday- Friday 9-5& Sunday 10-4.
Hope to see you in store real soon.
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.
Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
