We need you. Our Annual Appeal street collection is being held on the Friday 22 March & Saturday 23 March 2024. Can you give just two hours of your time for this year’s street collection? Join our Annual Street Appeal by becoming a street collector and make a difference for people and families here in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world in their time of need.
We are looking for 10 volunteers in New Plymouth on Friday 22 March and 40 volunteers on Saturday 23 March to support our Annual Street Collection. We will need two volunteers per site per shift. Two-hour shifts start between 8 am and 6 pm.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
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.
