Whangarei Quarry Gardens
Due to covid 19 we have had to officially close the gates at Whangarei Quarry Gardens.
Thank you to all of our volunteers who have been working so hard this summer. It has been a really big season, with the drought keeping our gardening team busy watering. Thankfully we have a lake, so no shortage of water. Well now our volunteers, like everyone else, can take time to rest and recover. They have certainly earned it, and I know they will be itching to get back into it now that the rain has come and planting season is upon us.
Please stay safe everyone. We look forward to seeing you back in the Gardens soon.

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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
