Hi there Neighbours!

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?

Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.

Happy raving NZ!

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too).

Be watchful of broken glass on sidewalks

Mayur from Howick

Hey everyone, just a warning for everyone who walk their dogs on sidewalks or prefer to walk bare feet. Today my pup tried to swallow a broken glass piece while I was walking her on Elliot street. Could have been deadly, had I not intervened in time and got it out of her mouth. I cleared that area … View moreHey everyone, just a warning for everyone who walk their dogs on sidewalks or prefer to walk bare feet. Today my pup tried to swallow a broken glass piece while I was walking her on Elliot street. Could have been deadly, had I not intervened in time and got it out of her mouth. I cleared that area from all the broken glass but just a warning to be mindful.

Happy Easter!
