Could you be a NZ House & Garden Tours volunteer?
Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is so excited to be the charity partner of the NZ House & Garden Tours 2023.
To make the tours a success, we need wonderful volunteers to be stationed at each of the houses, checking tickets and working alongside staff to keep the houses safe.
Dates:
Wānaka - Friday 24 & Saturday 25 February
Nelson - Friday 10 & Saturday 11 March
There are three shifts available: Morning (8.30am to 12.30pm), Afternoon (12.15pm to 4.15pm) or All Day (8.30am to 4.15pm).
Volunteers will spend their shift at one of the incredible homes on the tour, be given a 10% discount on your tour ticket, and a goodie bag from the tour sponsors.
We're also looking for House Supervisors! Responsible for looking after the team of volunteers at the house they're stationed at, they're also the point of contact at an assigned house. House Supervisors meet the homeowners the Thursday prior to the tour to go over important health and safety information.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
