Looking for something to do with your preschooler?
WADESTOWN PLAYGROUP is open for Term 3. If you haven't attended before, we are located at the Wadestown plunket rooms, right next to the newly renovated fully fenced playground. Our hours are Mondays and Fridays 9.30am to 11.30am. Come and check us out for a free session, then its only $25 per child for a term (under 12m free). We have amazing toys inside and crafts galore, and an epic sandpit with loads of outdoor toys. You don't need to be based in Wadestown to attend, we have families from surrounding suburbs join us, and it's a lovely relaxed environment for the preschoolers to enjoy, and for parents/caregivers to have a coffee.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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.
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.
