Creative Project you can partake in for free. Late July end date

Amanda from Pukekohe

Hello Neighbours!
I have attached a link to a creative art project I started for our communities to partake in for free. There is a Facebook link on Facebook, but you can read about it on the link attached too.

Even if you can not participate in person, you can share your before, during, and after pics, of your project.

I attached some photos of a piece of art I did more than 10 years ago. It was mediocre.. so I added to it and it became a wow. It is now turned into a Jigsaw Puzzle which I am telling on Amazon in the USA and I have the image on Scarves/ Sarong and cushion cover.

Let's make Winter fun as a community!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
