Come help us celebrate our 80th anniversary!

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours, NZ Gardener is marking an incredible 80 years of inspiring and informing New Zealand gardeners and we want to celebrate with you! Join NZ Gardener editor Jo McCarroll for bubbles, canapes and a wildly engaging romp through the magazine’s archive. With the much-loved gardening magazine celebrating 80 years in print, Jo will share the best practical tips and tricks gleaned from the back issues, as well as reflect on New Zealand’s horticultural history. Ticket holders will also receive:
* an early copy of the anniversary special edition.
* a goody bag packed with gardening paraphernalia.
* a brand new Jack Hobbs-bred Hebe 'The Gardener' plant, released to mark this amazing milestone.

* drinks, canapes and spot prizes.
Numbers are limited, so book your tickets early to avoid disappointment. We'd love to see you there.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
