Have you got an amazing wood pile?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Dear neighbours, after reading about our search for New Zealand's most impressive and artistic wood piles in the May 2025 issue, Auckland's Anne Stephens Whitcombe sent us this photo that she had snapped while on holiday in Norway. Have you put together a wood pile that's just as impressive, or even more so? Send us a photo! Email: mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz. You could be in to win a Fiskars X36 splitting axe L blade and a Fiskars X14 universal axe. We're looking for wood piles of impressive size or of particular space efficiency or even an artistic vision!

Poll: The Fuel Squeeze ... How are you navigating rising costs? ✈️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Between the news about the Nelson Port and Airport facing "huge ramifications" from global unrest and the creeping prices at the local petrol station, it feels like getting from A to B (or flying out of the region) is becoming a major math problem.

With fuel prices and airfares set to stay high for the foreseeable future, we want to know how the Nelson community is pivoting. Are you changing your habits, or just grit-and-bearing it?

We want to know: How are you adjusting your travel and commute to beat the price hikes?
