We are desperately searching for our precious two kiwi soft toy friends that were lost in the carpark of Ataturk Memorial Park, Strathmore Park, Wellington, between 3 and 4pm on Saturday 20 February 2021.

They were wearing white and yellow Japanese fortune charms as in the photo (left) and were in a blue drawstring bag (right top). There is also a small tag “NativeZ Made in New Zealand” (right bottom) attached to them.

They have been with us for over 15 years since our first visit to NZ and have shared all the memories of our life in Aotearoa.

Any information to Yusuke (021456580) or Nanase (021456510) would be much appreciated.

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information.

This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.
