In every neighbourhood, there’s someone who goes the extra mile, mowing lawns for the elderly, running the kids’ footy team, or simply being the first to lend a hand. These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.
Now’s the time to give them the recognition they deserve.
Celebrate your local hero today, whether it’s a teacher, a coach, a caregiver, or the neighbour who’s always there when it counts. We’re shining a light on the everyday legends making a difference in towns, suburbs, and rural corners across Aotearoa.
Let’s make sure even the quietest champions get the loudest applause by sharing our legends on the Neighbourly Noticeboard!

I have here a large healthy potful of this bearded iris. It has a flower stalk on it still in flower.
There are several other rhizomes in the pot and it should flower next year for you.

This Healthy little Blackcurrant bush will grow rapidly. Believe it or not it already has fruit on it though it is only about 40cms high. They could be picked off the plant as it is too little.
It should fruit in the next year or two and will put on rapid growth' through the Summer

Blackcurrants are hardy....I have never had them get disease problems. They are deciduous and produce bunches of black currants in the Summer. Lovely for making jam, or blackcurrant drinks. You do not need to top and tail them as we do Gooseberries.
They grow to not much more than and metre and a half.
