This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

Cardboard box.

I have a large sturdy cardboard box which I was about to destroy and send it to the cardboard cemetery. BUT, it looks so sad I wondered if someone might want to rehouse it before I give it the last rites?

I have a large sturdy cardboard box which I was about to destroy and send it to the cardboard cemetery. BUT, it looks so sad I wondered if someone might want to rehouse it before I give it the last rites?
It’s about twice as big as something half it’s’ size. Big enough to keep a small herd of pups in for example.
Big enough for about 40 vegetarian pizza boxes.
I’m going out soon and deliver in havelock or ring me to come collect ASAP or else the box is history.

Looking to lease horse

Laura from Waimarama

Hi neighbours,
Do you own a dressage / sport horse and would like for him to get some extra love each week? I am looking for a lease horse for once or ideally twice a week in our local area. I used to ride intensively when I was younger, and this slowed down when I started a family. I was schooled… View more
Hi neighbours,
Do you own a dressage / sport horse and would like for him to get some extra love each week? I am looking for a lease horse for once or ideally twice a week in our local area. I used to ride intensively when I was younger, and this slowed down when I started a family. I was schooled in the Netherlands, where I'm from, primarily in dressage - though have done the odd jump (and loved it). I also guided horse treks and pony camp for a couple of summers when I was around 18 yrs. of age; the best summers ever. I am looking for a sweet natured horse without any serious behavioural issues, one who loves to be pampered / groomed etc. In terms of riding, I love a more forward horse and do not mind the odd cheeky buck - not so keen on slow coaches. ;-) I live halfway between Havelock North village and Waimarama beach, close to Ocean beach, so anywhere close to that would be perfect as I'd come to the site the horse is grazing now for the training & care - at least initially. I am a very responsible adult, greatly care about animals and their wellbeing and just so keen to get back in the saddle on a regular basis. If your horse has potential and you are keen on this, I could train towards doing some (local) competitions but this is not a necessity for me. If this sounds like something that could work for you, or you know someone locally who may be keen, pls let me know.
