Did you know?
More than 800 people in Auckland are living without shelter?
If you want to create positive change and support innovative programmes like Housing First, alternatives to foster care, and the vibrant Merge Café, all you have to do is sleep rough for one night at Eden Park by joining the Lifewise Big Sleepout.
You can be part of the solution in a bold way, by stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the realization that as Kiwis, we can all be just a couple of steps away from homelessness ourselves.

Do you have a great recipe for pears?
Kia ora neighbours. We give away free copies to readers whose recipes are used in our magazine, and we're still on the hunt for pear recipes! Send your family's favourite way to use up this delicious fruit, to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by the end of this week . If we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of the April issue.


Changes to Te Onewa Pā access
Between February 2025 and January 2026, we will be carrying out essential maintenance on the underside of SH1 Auckland Harbour Bridge which sits over the Pā at Stokes Point Reserve.
To keep the public safe there will be changes to the access of the Pā site.
Visit the NZTA website to find out how you might be affected.
