Waikanae Arts and Craft Society
We are so excited to welcome Bernie McKendrey, the new owner of Fibre Flair in Waikanae. We’ve always had a good relationship with Fibre Flair and Bernie is determined to provide Kapiti with a one-stop shop for crafters. With her past experience and the shelves filling up fast, our continued association with Fibre Flair can only help both organisations build up a great crafting community. Beginners classes (beginning October) are being set up. They are agents for Pfaff, Ashford and Magacraft. Pop in and see them!
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?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
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.
