Candice from Paraparaumu

Kia ora friends,

To celebrate our 25th anniversary, L'Arche Kapiti in Paraparaumu East is having its first ever Open Day on Sunday 10 September from 11:45-3:00 pm. Drop in for a free sausage sizzle and complimentary tea/coffee. We'll have items for sale as well: cake slices, plants, L'Arche candles, jewelry and more. Bring the kids along for face painting (koha) and a trampoline. We have some beautiful gardens you can check out as well.

L'Arche Kapiti is an intentional community where people with and without intellectual disabilities share life together. We hope to see you there! The address is 5 and 6 Te Aroha Way (formerly Jean Vanier Way), right across from Impact Hub. For more information, contact Candice at 027 307 2477.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
