Meet our Houseplant Hero 2021!

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Dear neighbours,

Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

Dental Care

CMDental Ltd

The main cause of tooth loss in adults is gum disease. Here at CM Dental, we aim to prevent future oral health problems for our patients. Part of how we do this is by encouraging our patients to get a regular scale and polish. Scaling is the thorough removal of plaque and calculus from around teeth. We even offer this service at a discounted rate for our loyal returning patients as an extra incentive to make this a regular part of their oral health regime.

It is worth mentioning that only in its late stages does gum disease cause pain and the damage is then usually irreparable causing tooth loss. You may require multiple cleaning visits if you have more advanced gum disease, but this will be discussed during your inspection appointment.
We are a modern friendly practice located in Henderson with free car parking.
