Queen Elizabeth Planting Days! #LeafYourLegacy

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

We are taking care of the things that matter – but we can’t do it without your help!
You’re invited to #LeafYourLegacy and help us plant over 20,000 native plants in Queen Elizabeth Park this winter.

We have three planting events:
- 10 June at 10am-12:30pm, The Esplanade Carpark
- 8 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance
- 22 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance

Spades and gloves will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own. Remember to check the weather and dress appropriately so you don't freeze out there, to help you warm up afterwards enjoy a hot drink and biscuits on us.

For wet weather cancellations, please call 0800 496 734

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
