Neighbours Aotearoa
Celebrate Neighbours Aotearoa with a special "Potluck of Everything".
'Neighbours Aotearoa' takes place 1-31 March and the theme this year is "Let's Share", so at the Miramar & Maupuia Community Centre we are holding a unique potluck style event. Free for all!
This potluck is special because it's not just bring a plate of kai but also bring a "plate" of music, of art, of garden seedlings etc. In other words, bring food plus something to share e.g. your guitar, your singing voice, some poetry you might want to read, artwork that you want to show off, your coolest dance moves, or teach a game and we can all play!
If you want to attend but also help out, let us know, we will give you something to do!
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?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
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.
