The Space programme is aimed at first time parents with newborn babies and has been designed to support parents through the first year of their child's developmental journey. Second or more, time parents are also welcome if you feel the group would be of benefit to you.
The programme runs weekly for 3 terms (i.e. 30-40 weeks) in a relaxed, baby friendly atmosphere. At Space, you and your baby will be able to connect with other new parents and their babies. The Space groups meet in term time for 2 hours giving you the opportunity to make real connections both within and outside of the group times.
During each session, you and your baby will explore music and movement, crafts, and books along with a weekly facilitated discussion that looks at different parenting topics such as
Becoming a parent
Brain basics
Attachment
Movement
Treasure baskets and heuristic play
There is an initial $45 enrolment fee for Parenting Place when you complete the online enrolment form and a $20 donation per term that goes to Pukekohe Community Action (PCA) who run the course (or a gold coin donation when you can). Payment options are also available for holders of a community services card.
Please email Space.pukekohe@gmail.com or Pukekohecommunityaction@xtra.co.nz if you have any queries or book directly via the online booking links above
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
