Ashamed to go back to school

Variety

Going back to school without a school uniform or necessary supplies can make a child feel ashamed. Some kids avoid going to school altogether to escape the shame. Even if they go, they are so embarrassed, it knocks their confidence and makes it hard to learn.

You can help a child start the school year with everything they need to be confident and focused on learning. Send them to school with a uniform, shoes, stationery and anything else they need by sponsoring a Kiwi kid with Variety. Weโ€™ve been helping Kiwi kids all around New Zealand for 30 years.

๐ŸŒž Grow Vertical Tomatoes! ๐ŸŒž

Short on space? Try growing vertical tomatoes! ๐Ÿ…

Use a sturdy trellis, stakes, or even a hanging structure to train your tomato plants upward instead of outward. Vertical growing boosts airflow around the plants, which helps prevent disease and makes harvesting a breeze! It also maximizses sunlight exposure, leading to healthier plants and juicier tomatoes. ๐ŸŒฑโ˜€๏ธ

Perfect for small gardens, patios, or balconies - give it a try and watch your tomatoes thrive this spring! ๐ŸŒฟ

HAVE YOU BOOKED - Have you booked us in to collect your surplus garden produce?
