Reminder: Northern Upper Hutt Earthquake Drill - 14 March
Kia ora whanau - A reminder that WREMO is having an earthquake drill at Plateau School to practise how we as a community would respond and use the Community Hub at Plateau School. Be great to have a wide range to people there to learn and help.... and have some fun too.
Check out the facebook event: www.facebook.com...
Also looking for some folk interested in filling in the blanks of our Te Marua Community response plan (what would be available to us in our local area in the event of an emergency eg- communications, water, venues, facilities, bbqs, 4X4 vehicles etc) Please get in touch with me in the comments below (Tania Jones) and I'll arrange a group coffee meeting, won't be arduous... and only a one-off :-)
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
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.
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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
