He delivered on the footy field. This week, former All Black Wyatt Crockett's first food drop-off was a welcome hospital pass to thank frontline workers.
Schools across the Nelson region say less than 12 per cent of their rolls are due back at their schools today, as schools partially reopen under alert level three. Is a child in your family one of them? How do you feel?

As lockdown restrictions eased under level 3 Nelson and Tasman began to come to life. What are you looking forward to doing?

And believe me the May issue is packed with the good stuff, with ideas of what you can sow, plant, pick and preserve to make the most of your garden right now, plus Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown, a bumper gardening quiz, and you can visit a spectacular Taupō garden alive with birds, a whimsical wonderland in Glenorchy in full bloom and meet the clever and resourceful gardeners of the Chatham Islands... all without leaving your bubble. And thanks so much to everyone who has been in touch to offer their support to the NZ Gardener team, especially those who have subscribed or renewed or purchased a subscription as a gift (an NZ Gardener subscription is a great Mother's Day idea, just sayin'!) We are so grateful to you all, and it's your support that allows us to keep inspiring and informing gardeners from all around New Zealand as we have been doing now for more than 75 years. Please share this message with your gardening groups on social too. We’re looking forward to the many more years of celebrating the amazing gardens and gardeners of New Zealand that lie ahead.
The Kindling kid is back selling kindling.
Due to level 3 restrictions it is pick up only and sorry but you will have to load your car yourselves. To ensure social distancing is observed there will be a container for payment on the table.
Please call or text 0210694211 to organise some kindling.

Alert Level 3 is a milestone in our struggle against COVID-19. We are all responsible for what happens next. Every contact we make is a chance for the virus to spread.

We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.
Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.
Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.
Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.

According to google tracker we were the top region for cutting down our non-essential travel early on in lockdown, and I think the results speak for themselves. No new cases of Covid-19 in our region for the last two weeks, no clusters, no deaths.
My heartfelt thanks to the amazing essential workers, parents, grandparents, youth, and kids who followed the rules of Level 4 lockdown.
With Level 3 lockdown, libraries and playgrounds are still closed. I have made a short fun video to share with you about services our libraries are still offering. The link is here...

Finally...if you are a business trying to find new ways to operate under Level 3 lockdown check out the website www.shoplocally.co.nz...
Shoplocally Marketplace is available for all businesses in the Tasman and Nelson region who want a quick and easy way to set up an online store.
This is for local businesses to get ready to trade in time for the change to Alert Level Three. The system has no upfront costs and no monthly fees, just a generous couple from Motueka wanting to help Nelson Tasman businesses to thrive once more.
Kia kaha,

Despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, many people in the Nelson-Tasman region remembered the fallen on Anzac Day. They did so in many ways such as standing at the end of their driveways, hanging a colourful tribute, laying a wreath or playing the Last Post. What did you do?
