Wellington Water Suburb of the Week - Timberlea

The Team from Wellington Water

After a pretty hot week last week, some #waterlovers emerged from the suburb of Timberlea in Upper Hutt to take out the suburb of the week title.

Keep up the good work Hutt Valley - two weeks running. Can a Wellington or Porirua suburb take out the win this week?

Our top #loveeverydrop water saving tip for the week is to group plants in your garden into high or low water users, you can then design a watering pattern that is better for your plants and one that will also reduce the amount of water wastage.

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!
