I want to make people aware of my new garden/vegetation management service, primarily consisting of chemical-free weed-control, ie handweeding ( including hand tools where needed) for ecological restoration, ie turning a weedy mish-mash into intact plant communities native to our local forests, forest edges, streamsides and wetlands.
I produce self-managing wild plant communities free of environmental weeds, using detailed knowledge of our locally native plants at all stages from seeds and seedlings through to maturity, including trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, groundcovering creepers, grasses and mosses, so I very rarely need to buy or plant anything.
The service is aimed at those with a bit of rough land, who are aware of the potential beauty of restoration but can't do it all themselves.
So, how to find those people and let them know I am available to do the work or show them how?
I have done a few letter-box flyer drops, trying to reach the neighbourhoods around natural Reserves, but most mailboxes (like my own:) say "No junk mail" or similar.
To make promotion even more challenging, there isn't even a name for this sort of service for private properties, as it hasn't existed until now, as far as I know. I call it "Chemical-free weed control for ecological restoration", but it also involves landscaping and soil care.... improving soil structure, making sustainable paths, tidying up the surrounding area, etc, as required.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm a mother, a writer, and a business owner of a therapeutic massage business, offering healing intuitive massage sessions from my home-based clinic in Bayswater on the North Shore.
Having worked for 30+ years as a massage therapist and studied many modalities, I work uniquely, listening to your body to help you release what no longer serves you.
A little bit about massage:
Massage is somatic in that it releases stored emotions - we are mind/body/spirit - everything is intertwined. So, if you are feeling stuck in life and want to move forward, then consider massage as a key to opening up the flow in your life.
I'm open over Easter (no surcharge added) and I welcome you to book yourself in. It will be lovely to see you.
Take care,

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...the council weed spraying contractor actually fired the wand from within his vehicle as he drove past my house. I have CCTV so I have the footage.
He was in like a little golf cart with tanks on the back and just fired!
I'm just Gobsmacked.

So here's the mighty Auckland Council who don't even think we have a right to know they're spraying us so no forewarning and trying to tell us their contractors are trained and certified and bla bla and then I see that. It was about 0830 this morning when the kids were coming to school at Target Road.
If I hadn't seen that and took my dog for a walk...you get my point.
We need to get these people under control. Never mind the weeds!

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.
We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

Also need to replace a macrocarpa sleeper on a raised garden surround, and to construct two shelf units to sit on top of chests of drawers using 4 existing planks.

In previous generations, children left home at 18 years old and became independent. Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's.

Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?
