Poll: Would you spend a weekend in the garden to grow a season's worth of veges?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Gardener Lynda Hallinan couldn't quite believe it when she found out her grandfather used to spend one day in the garden every September, to produce enough veges to feed his family of eight for the summer. So she put his method to the test.

Porirua City sent us these lovely photos of their Waitangi Day event that we helped to fund and said:

"Thank you for your support to create an exciting day with meaningful engagement. We’ve been overwhelmed with positive responses about this event and you can be very proud of what we all accomplished together. We created an awesome nation-building programme and event that honoured the Treaty of Waitangi through respect, understanding and fun!

"The new Waitangi Day Festival event was expected to welcome 25,000 attendees and it’s estimated that we exceeded that number, with Porirua hosting the largest Waitangi Day event outside of Waitangi itself.

"The event offered more than 60 stallholders, 30 food vendors, and dozens of free family activities, including waka rides and Māori art demonstrations. This is a monumental accomplishment for Porirua and it would not have been possible without the many hands and sponsors that put it together.

"Porirua City Chief Executive, Wendy Walker says, 'The venue was fantastic, the stalls were great, the entertainment was varied and high quality and the waka were inspiring. Thanks to everybody who pitched in. It was definitely an all-hands-on-deck day. I’ve had wonderful feedback from all sorts of people. We also had our Blacktown sister city delegation who really got into the swing of things. I’m looking forward to next year already!'"

Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
