Learn to recognise wild natives among your weeds, and weeds among your trees and shrubs

Jenny from

Do you recognise the native wild plants and the destructive weeds presently growing wild in your garden?

The cost and effort of saving your garden and buildings from tree, shrub and vine weeds can be avoided if you recognise the weeds early. The largest, most costly invasions all started as wild seedlings introduced by wind or birds, as ornamental plantings before the plant's invasive quality in NZ was widely recognized, or on neighbouring properties.

The impact of these plants only becomes obvious once they overrun your hedge, driveway, plantings, or buildings.

Group learning sessions can be arranged in a Reserve or private garden, to help you recognise both the free native wild plants and the destructive weeds on your own property.

As plants and demonstration of manual control methods need to be seen close up, and all participants need to be able to ask their questions, each group will be limited to 3 to 6 people, at a cost of $20-30 depending on numbers.

If you would like to subscribe to one of these sessions, please email jenny@northshorewilds.nz, message me here at www.neighbourly.co.nz..., or phone 021485994.

Let's get those weeds cut, piled and safely composted while we have the wet conditions ideal for decomposition!

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Have You Had Your Annual Diabetes Review Yet?

The Doctors Sunset

If you live with diabetes, your annual diabetes review with our Registered Nurse is one of the most important appointments of the year.

This check-up isn’t just a routine visit it’s a proactive way to protect your health and prevent complications.

During your annual review, our RN will:
✔️ Check your HbA1c and blood sugar control
✔️ Review your blood pressure and cholesterol
✔️ Arrange blood tests if needed
✔️ Check your feet (early detection prevents serious problems)
✔️ Review your medications
✔️ Support healthy lifestyle goals
✔️ Answer any questions or concerns

Diabetes can affect many parts of the body including your heart, kidneys, eyes, and feet. Regular reviews help us pick up small changes early, before they become bigger issues.

📞 If you receive a recall from us, please don’t ignore it. Booking your annual diabetes review is one of the best steps you can take to stay well and in control of your health.

Your health matters and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
