Keen Garden Maintenance Volunteers Required (Awanui Angels )
Volunteers for what, you ask??
We would like to give back to the community by helping keep Awanui Cemetery in tip-top condition. We are looking for some Angels who are interested in looking to help support the Council staff by doing some of the tasks that are not part of their everyday duties.
We’d like volunteers for year-round weeding, trimming, deadheading, pruning, plant maintenance and if there is a group who would like to become involved, then perhaps mulching, planting & dividing, and transplanting plants.
The current team are hoping to have a few younger people join them as it can be a little hard on the backs if you are not young. Do you know anyone who would be keen to help on an occasional basis – not on a regular basis – that would be good too – and really helpful.
This is on the Second Wednesday of the month -winter/autumn months and twice a month spring / summer months - from 9am to approximately 11am .
We will work with all those who offer their time and try and make it work for everyone and ensure that we are able to work with NPDC staff who enable this unique project to happen.
For all new volunteers we will have a first meeting onsite with Council staff to inspect the site and the areas we will be working on. This would be during the working week.
There will be site safety process and an induction.
Horticultural knowledge an advantage but not vital.
If you are interested please contact Wendy at Volunteering New Plymouth on 06 758 8986; Ph/Txt 022 571 4228 or Email: admin@volunteeringnewplymouth.nz so she can forward your details to the team leader.
Poll: Is it still rude to wear a hat inside?
Times have changed and perhaps so has our societal rules around taking off hats when indoors. What are your thoughts?
-
75% Yes, take them off indoors

1% Other - I'll share below
Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
