We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Did you know that the council can plant trees in people's berms?

Maria from Central-West Invercargill

I recently had an interesting talk with the council and thought I'd share what I learned here.

In front of my house there is a grass berm which currently does not have any plants on it - aside from grass. I wanted to plant a tree there, so I called up the council asking if I'd need to … View more
I recently had an interesting talk with the council and thought I'd share what I learned here.

In front of my house there is a grass berm which currently does not have any plants on it - aside from grass. I wanted to plant a tree there, so I called up the council asking if I'd need to apply for some sort of a planting permission.

And you know what?

Turns out, the council can plant a tree there for me! They said, basically, that each year they plant a number of trees around the city - some to replace old and sick trees, others to create "new" spots for trees. And so, when I called them up asking if I'd be allowed to plant a tree in my berm, they simply said that they'll note down my address, have a look at my berm on their next round of maintenance checks and if they think the berm is wide enough for a tree to go there, they'd simply include my berm in their next tree planting programme!

And I was, like, whoa. This is so cool :)

Thank you, Invercargill.
