BOOKS - Little business starting again!!
The Little Book Shop, Latham Street, will be open from Monday 9.30 - noon for door sales. Presently we have bags ( at least 10 books per bag) of books for sale - action, romance, crime, fantasy and sci fi but we have more than a few hundred boxes to move on so if you want a different subject ie cooking, gardening, self help, NZ or sport let us know. These are preloved books from our community fundraiser so make a donation into the donation tin. Every dollar helps thank you.
If you prefer we can select books from the shop according to your wants. The easiest way if you know what you want is to email an order to magicacorn@hotmail.com or text 021 1302 859. Otherwise we'll bring a selection of your interests to the door - with gloves.Cheers Anne
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
