Neighbours Aotearoa 2024
Get to know your neighbours a little better this March - and beyond!
The month-long celebration Neighbours Aotearoa returns for 2024, running from the 1st to the 31st of March, and encourages people from right across the country to organise activities or events with their neighbours. Whether it’s a friendly wave, sharing tea or hosting a neighbourhood party, there are many ways, big and small, to get involved in your community.
This year’s theme ‘Growing Together’ is about connecting, nurturing relationships, sharing, and encouraging aroha where you live. It’s about growing skills, networks, memories, participation, and fostering a beautiful neighbourhood.
I am your dedicated connector for the Taranaki region. I can provide free event planning resources - such as downloadable invites, event toolkits, bunting, name stickers etc. I can also help those that need it to register their events on the Neighbours Aotearoa website, or just have a general yarn about any ideas you may have.
To find out more about Neighbours Aotearoa and to register your event visit www.neighboursaotearoa.nz... or contact me direct via cass@neighboursaotearoa.nz.
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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
