Following a career in the health sector Mich Newton changed paths which led her to the role of Visitor Services Manager at Auckland Botanic Gardens. She says I have been enjoyed being able to satisfy my love of plants, gardens, and people. Responding to the changing ways our visitors seek information, adapting to trends and adopting technological advances have all been part of my teams’ journey to connect people with plants and the natural environment. We have learned the need to keep information simple and relevant to visitor needs. Along with my role at Auckland Botanic Gardens I am a member of the executive committee of Interpretation Network New Zealand.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

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!
