Early Literacy in Preparation for School
Is your child starting school in Term Two 2023? If so you may be interested in joining a talk on how to encourage literacy, reading and maths, at Highland Park Library - Saturday 18 March 10.30am. We will also show you the resources the library has to help you along the way as you prepare your child for school. We presented this talk back in August 2022 and it was well received, this is a chance for anyone that missed it to come along. You will also receive a fun activity pack along with tips how to use it. The 30 minute session will have time for questions afterwards. Spaces are limited, so please get in touch if you want to book your spot.

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.
