It comes after news that the number of people in New Zealand able to speak te reo Māori is declining. What do you think? Should it be made compulsory? Do you think this will help retain the language?

Neighbourly's own Sarah Moore has started studying te reo Māori follow her journey here.

hearty spiderettes ready for new homes.

Natalie from Te Puke

Hi all,
My momma spider plant has had more than a few babes over the last 6 months. As much as I want to keep them all, I've run out of hanging and bench space. I'm not looking to make much on these just enough to fund my next plant adventure, a terrarium! I'm looking for a new big… View more
Hi all,
My momma spider plant has had more than a few babes over the last 6 months. As much as I want to keep them all, I've run out of hanging and bench space. I'm not looking to make much on these just enough to fund my next plant adventure, a terrarium! I'm looking for a new big jar and some nutrients to get started.

In addition to the plants pictured I have some that I'll be placing in temporary pots (ehem... old coffee cups and ice cream containers) this weekend.

The price range is between $4 and $10 depending on size.

These are great plants for kids as they can take handle some neglect (no need to water them every day, they like partial shade but can handle some direct light as well)

These will need to be re-potted in the future but can stay in their temporary housing until you find the right pot.

I did have a posse of renegade caterpillers break in and dine on my plants over summer but I'm only selling the strongest ones.

They will grow relatively quickly if loved.

Do you recycle your long-life milk cartons?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Did you know long-life milk cartons can't be recycled in New Zealand? There is no company which recycles them within the country, so the majority of them end up in the landfill. Although Auckland and Christchurch accept the cartons for recycling, they are send offshore.

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
