Sunday Working Bee - Seed Sowing

Dave Atkinson from Forrest Hill Community Garden

We’re excited to be hosting ‘Seed Week’ at the community garden this Sunday 💚 With the arrival of spring comes the potential of a booming summer garden - but the seeds must be sown first! Come along and learn the art and science of seed sowing, and sow a punnet of your own to take home and watch grow. We’ll also have wildflower seed bomb making for the kiddos and a seed swap table for the seed addicts amongst us! Come ready to swap and expand your seed library!

And if you didn't know, we host weekly working bees at the garden on Sundays from 2-4pm. See you there.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
