Good People

On Thursday the 17th October, WFS will be doing our annual screening of the Show Me Shorts Film Festival, which has become a crowd favourite.

We are doing two sessions of the Sampler Program. One at 6pm and one at 8pm. It is screening ONE NIGHT ONLY - SO DON'T MISS IT

SMS 2024 - Sampler Program
NZ and International short films
105 mins, Rated M - (strong language and content that may offend.)

Enjoy the highlights from this year’s Show Me Shorts (SMS) Film Festival. It's a selection of the most vibrant, fun and imaginative short films from NZ and around the world.

Equal parts moving and silly, the stars include Joanna Lumley and Ben Whishaw, alongside local actors who shine.

SMS is all about the connections between us. You'll see heartfelt stories of homelessness, demolition derbies, the horrors of camping, dealing with death... and meeting your partner's weird family for the first time!

WFS is proud to be part of the 2024 Whangarei Fringe Festival.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 17th October with sessions at 6pm and 8pm

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we're 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.

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.
