Appreciation post
It's always sad to conclude a series of Write Your Story community workshops. With a common sense of purpose, people from all walks of life connect with one another. Aspirations and experiences are shared, and friendships are formed. This series of workshops is not just a learning experience, it's a journey of wellbeing where we acknowledge the important people in our lives, celebrate our achievements and reflect on the challenges we or members of our whanau has overcome. We all grow from this experience. What a privilege.

We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
