This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

Going for a easier run

Derek from Papatoetoe

Well my trainer told me to go for a time run I was doing a 30 minute run everyday but found it to be to much. So he advised I go for a distance run instead thinking it be easier. So now I go for a 30 meter run each day instead off a 30 minute run. He is right this is way easier. 😂

Hi Auckland neighbours,

Great news! Auckland is now in alert level 2.
The rest of the country has shifted to alert level 1.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Georgia Forrester

There are three community cases, two siblings who are students at Papatoetoe High School, and their household contact.

There was also one new case in MIQ on Wednesday.

Schools in Auckland can reopen. But Papatoetoe High School will remain closed for the rest of the week.

Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.

Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday

The Government is making it easier for businesses to get one of its support measures - if current alert levels are extended.

People identified as contacts or who were at the locations of interest are being asked to get tested.
