Neighbour's Day: The Great Plant Swap

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

The annual Neighbour's Day Aotearoa is running this week until March 30.

Held to encourage people to get their neighbours better, this year's theme is The Great Plant Swap.

The first 200 people to register their events will receive a packet of seeds donated by Kings Seeds.

Neighbours have held barbecues, community movie nights and beach clean-ups in previous years to mark Neighbour's Day Aotearoa.

You can join one or several events by clicking the red buttons on the website below.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
