Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:
• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients
The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

"It was a fantastic day out, from the awesome Rams volunteers, to the ability to mix with the players, yummy food and beverages, and even the recycling set-up – we are super proud. The Hurricanes loved playing on our recently upgraded ‘sand carpet’ pitch too, with some saying it’s the best in the region."
The council is reminding people it is still working on design of a sports hub at Maidstone Park and will soon be sharing the design with locals.
