My Plant Stall THEFT OF PLANTS

Pamela from Upper Moutere

Hi All,
Sadly after only 2 weeks of being open I have in the last 24 hours had the following plants stolen from my plant stall:
1 fan palm $8
1 tomato plant $4
1 Tamarillo Tree $5
1 Thyme $3

This has happened this evening, at the same time as we discovered a wallet next to the stall. We have just returned it to the owner who has told us that it had this afternoon been stolen from his house with close to $500 in it. I would guess that maybe both thefts are related.

Annoyingly, with a heavy heart last weekend we had we bought some security cameras but they have only arrived this afternoon, so just missed the opportunity to catch who did this.

They are now INSTALLED and will catch any future theft.

Someone will recognise our little mixed bag of plants as well as perhaps someone with a wad of cash. Please encourage them to either pay for the plants or bring them back.
It saddens me that our country has become a place that challenges our trust and that I knew that this would eventually happen to my little plant stall. Shame.

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.
