Estranged mothers of adult children - Wellington only
Expressions of interest are invited for setting up a support group for mothers who have lost a child or children to estrangement. This is not intended as therapy, but as a chance to share experiences, resources, solutions, or general support with others in the same situation. Please reply by direct message, for confidentiality, and we will set up a meeting before the end of October in a safe, neutral environment to meet and discuss possibilities.
Disclaimer: This group is proposed by individuals seeking others similarly placed and is not associated with any organisations, mental health-related or otherwise.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
