Free family friendly community event
SPiCE is holding a free Matariki event in Sandringham this Saturday and you're invited! We will have free workshops - weaving, kite-making and art activities. Free kai from Kiwi Tucker - mussel fritters and seafood chowder. Kai for koha from Edendale School PTA (a yummy bake sale to raise funds for their new netball hoops) and Food Not Bombs. All this plus live music, stories and remembrance. Join with us and the local Sandringham community in honour of Matariki, it's going to be a great day. All Welcome.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
