Hi neighbours,

I'm a local landscaper & designer. I would like to offer my design services to someone wanting to re-do their garden space, free of cost.
I am a qualified and experienced horticulturalist and designer wanting to add more designs to my portfolio.

The only catch..the styles I'm wanting to specialise in and promote are the beautiful cottage garden or native gardens. Although I am a big believer in supporting our natural environment also, so a cottage design could also include some natives.

And the other catch..I would install the design at my standard rate.

Please reach out if this sounds of interest.

We're planting native trees at Wenderholm! Wenderholm holds a special place in Auckland’s history as its first Regional Park—and one of the most picturesque.

Native planting at this site not only enhances a beautiful recreation site for residents of Tāmaki Makaurau, but also provides erosion control, helping prevent runoff into the harbour, and associated significant soil and water quality benefits.

In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent a day picnicking at Wenderholm — so come and help plant native trees for the Jubilee at this special site.

Fast Food Deliveries🌮🍕🍔🍟🥪

Good afternoon one and all,

Good afternoon one and all,
I have a quick question for you all, especially those who are proficient with food deliveries.
When you order food on line or by phone and decide to get it delivered, is the delivery person supposed to put the food in your hands or by the front door?
Now this question includes Uber eats as well.
I would be interested as I don't use this service but I have have had a Subway dropped at my front door, on the concrete, not in a bag or anything, just wrapped in paper and I'm up a long driveway. If I hadn't seen someone walking up there, I would never have known.
To make matters worse it was for the next door neighbour - both of our letterboxes are clearly numbered.
She dropped the food on the ground by the front door then started to bolt down the driveway. I opened my front door and she asked over her shoulder as she was rushing off, "For **?"
I said, "NO. They live next door"
She didn't even apologise or say thanks for stopping her - nothing.
So, now I'm curious as to what the correct procedure for food delivery is please.

Landlord refuses to fix toilet for months even when poo leaked

Kia ora neighbours, tenants had to move out of their Kelston rental after their landlord failed to fix sewerage problems for months.

The tenants took their landlord Mauri Ora Limited to the tenancy tribunal and said there were times they’d flush the toilet and faeces and toilet paper would come out the other side of the house.

In August 2021, the tenants moved into the rental and noticed sewage was coming out of the trap by the front door for the first month they lived there.

They told Mauri Ora Ltd about it and a plumber was sent and put tape over the trap. The tenants said this made sewage leak out of a trap on the other side of the house instead.
