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.

Moments & Memories - An exhibition by Michelle Neale

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Moments and Memories
An exhibition by Michelle Neale
27 November - 16 December 2024

Moments & Memories’ celebrates and captures those moments and emotions we experience when looking at art. Whether it reminds you of someone, somewhere, or simply makes you feel something; be it joy, love, nostalgia, relaxation, excitement or just peace. Staring at the movement and brush strokes, the viewer is invited to loose themselves in the work and take in whatever is brought to light in that moment and enjoy the experience.

Michelle is passionate about representing or emoting memory through art. Some of the paintings in this series are inspired by wedding bouquets, directly representing the gathered florals in an abstract form with new life and energy.

Opening event: Saturday 30th November 10-12pm
Come and celebrate the opening of ‘Moments & Memories’ with Michelle. Hear directly from the artist about their inspirations and practice.

We look forward to seeing you there.
