Parenting programmes at Parentline Manawatu
We're now taking registrations from people interested in attending our Term 3 programmes - do contact us on 08004326459 (freecalling) to register. We can also provide you with referral forms for the Incredible Years (and talk with you about eligibility) which has an entry point in August and goes over 14 weeks. Parenting through Separation programmes are also provided here over two weeknight evenings (once a month). Triple P for parents of teens looks quite full for next term but let us know if you're wanting to attend. Check out our website and feel free to contact us through there if that suits you. We could also be providing some Triple P discussion groups and the Anxiety workshop that we do for parents from time to time. Counselling is also available for those of you looking for some 1:1 support. This is no cost/low cost and by appointment.
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?

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.
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.
