The Dahlia Kids Book Launch

Jennifer from West Coast Northland

We did it! We wrote a book! The Dahlia Kids welcome you to their book launch.

When: 11 November 2024, 2pm
Where: Ngawha Innovation and Enterprise Park

The Dahlia Kids will host an afternoon with a talk, a quiz with prizes and nibbles and pink lemonade to celebrate their achievements on writing and publishing their new book. It is a 244 page hardback book full of colourful photos and follows their unschooling adventures on their true kiwi lifestyle block on an ex-girlguides campground called Trefoil Park. Here they have set up their own dahlia pick your own business and dahlia breeding programme. Now they have written a book all about their adventures, sharing their dahlia knowledge, New dahlia cultivars, unschooling lifestyle and inspirational outlook on life.

This event is FREE however tickets must be reserved in the shop at www.greenfootedkiwi.co.nz... (a koha for the Dahlia Kids' efforts would be very well received)

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
