Mosque's memorial garden
Hamilton's Jamia Masjid Mosque is turning community donations into a memorial garden for Christchurch terror attack victims.
There will be a kōwhai tree, potting mix and pots from Bunnings, and gardenias from James R Hill Funeral Directors, and other gifts from locals.
Donated cut flowers which have since died were composted and put into the garden's soil, and donated trinkets such as painted stones will sit in between the flowers.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

-
58.7% No, I enjoy it
