We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.

My parents grew these many years ago and I am trying to obtain some seeds for myself. Can any one help with some?? The fruit is like a round watermelon in size with similar styrated colouring, the inside is a pale greyish green in colour from memory. Would very much appreciate some seeds.

The city’s first underground bulk wastewater storage system set to go in Melville’s Collins Road opposite Deanwell Park has cost an extra $2.9 million, with the project completion delayed over a year after contractors discovered higher groundwater during excavations than anticipated.
