This National Gardening Week we’re encouraging gardeners to grow-an-extra-row to share with neighbours, community pantries, food banks and other local food donation agencies.
To help get your extra row underway Yates is lending a helping hand.
Just register online HERE between 1st and 25th October to receive a FREE packet of Yates Vegie Seeds.
Once you’ve grown your vegies to share (or if you have spare now) please visit HERE to find a list of the organisations that would welcome your donation of fresh homegrown vegies.
We have a very large standard local Flax bush that needs to be cut back. If any group, individual or any one who knows or is interested to use the leaves or roots, please can you message us.
Thanks.
These large invasive birds are a problem in the Wellington region because they eat and destroy newly germinated seedlings, which sometimes means entire crops need to be re-sown.

We need to protect our region’s environment and economic wellbeing from damage, which is why we aim to remove rooks from our region by 2029.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.
Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.
2x pink hard hats and a three-pack of safety glasses. These items are all adult size. The hard hats have both been used once, during a demo job, and the safety glasses have not been used and still in pack.

The hard hats have both been used once, during a demo job, and the safety glasses have not been used and still in pack. (The pack has been rained on once but the glasses are fully plastic and not damaged by rain.) Lot of construction going on in the neighbourhood so figure someone can use these. Must pick up, thanks.

Taita College student Danni-Lee Kokiri, 18, entered her work, called Chakra Forest, in the competition, open to artists aged 13 years and older with intellectual disabilities.
She is inspired by the nature that surrounds her – particularly the colour and details in trees. “They have this feeling that just makes me want to fly over them like a bird.

So it happened on Nelson Street, Petone. I don't know when but given there was no surface rust on the metal, It was Monday or Sunday. This is the third time this has happened on the Street, one time a gentleman left a note.
Anyhow the rest is pertinent
Big thank you to the Piece of S*** who didn't leave their details, after hitting the right-hand rear of my car, ( NOT around 11.30 am, Monday at the Queensgate Carpark.) on Nelson Street, Petone It was the Blue Impreza.
Luckily I'm insured, (but have a $400 excess) I'm guessing that you are not, on top of that, an appalling driver, and are a very dishonest person.
So thank you so much.
I have Security at Queensgate reviewing cameras now) - (Thanks Brendan for suggesting, I didn't think about doing that)

Dear neighbours and gardeners,
Here's another great project from our DIY guru Jacob Leaf.
