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.
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.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
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?
