Holiday en Plien Air Workshops

JoElle from Island Bay

En Plein Air Workshops
Want to get outside and do some sketching and painting? This short series of workshops will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 4pm. Jan. 11, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 27. Each workshop we will warm up with some sketching and drawing techniques and afterwards we’ll get the paints out and go for it with watercolour, (although you are welcome to work in your preferred medium). There are six workshops in total and registration is flexible. Choose whichever dates suit your schedule. We will work on location as many days as the weather permits. We have the studio as a backup plan or cool indoor spots like the Begonia House. Beginners and all levels of experience are welcome. Get in touch and join us for some fun. kiaora@southcoaststudionz.com 021519920 www.southcoaststudionz.com...

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.

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.
