Please support our Street Appeal!

Phillip Harris from Mary Potter Hospice

For 40 years we’ve provided compassionate, quality hospice care for the terminally ill and their families in our community. Thanks to your generosity, we provide that care when and where you need us, free of charge.

Mary Potter Hospice will be out on the streets of Wellington, Porirua, and Kāpiti on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May for our Annual Appeal. Please donate when you see us - every dollar helps keep our services free. If you don't have cash, we'll have Eftpos at some locations, or you can donate via our website.

We’ve been your Hospice since 1979 and this year, we’re celebrating 40 years with you. Please help us, and give generously this Appeal. Donate here!

Thank you so much for your support

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
