What plants should go in this Halswell park?

The Team from Christchurch City Council

Neighbours came together over the weekend for a BBQ breakfast at West Broken Run Reserve in Halswell.

Our landscape architect was on site to get ideas from the community about what they would like to see planted in this park before plans are drawn up and presented to community board.

Thanks for your ideas!

A community planting day will follow once plans are in place.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
