"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Have a look at the pictures - this place is seasonal and very local in its offerings - food made to linger over and share! We have a tour here - ask me for details! #foodie

Calling Planting Volunteers to Akoranga Reserve - one of the loveliest unknown treasures on the North Shore. Until recently it was a mass of weeds. However, a combination of two dedicated volunteers and two corporate teams (AMP and UL Ltd) have made incredible progress in wresting back this beautiful stream from environmental weeds. Come and join us to help progress the restoration effort! New volunteers welcome.
🌱 Family, friends and children welcome
🌱 Gumboots are essential
🌱 Gardening gloves are recommended
🌱 Please bring your own clean spade with your name and phone number on (to reserve a spare one contact Smiths Bush Restoration Group ).
Come and help with this planting day at this newly restored reserve.
Location:
You can find it by entering the reserve from Akoranga Road between the YMCA at 5 Akoranga and the stream.
Public parking and toilets are available by the sports fields across the road.
PS please watch us and the original group Smiths Bush Restoration Group timeline www.facebook.com...
for any further information or, in the event of bad weather, any postponement arrangements.

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.
If you have an project that you'd like to show off – whether you’ve given something a fresh coat of paint or entirely changed its use – enter it into Resene's Upcycling Awards on Neighbourly here. Entries close at midnight on August 2, 2020. Four great prizes worth $500 are up for grabs: a $200 Resene voucher and a $300 Prezzy card.
