Volunteers Please!! Totara Park Track build, Saturday 1pm

Graeme Sawyer from JCA - Johnsonville Community Association Inc

As you may have seen in the "Independant Herald", JCA are organising another "Track Build" (and tree planting) session at Totara Park this Saturday. We need your help! so please come & "pitch in"
Totara Park is a 2.3 Ha Park nestled between Mclintock St. and the (terminal) end of Broderick Rs. This Track will join the two up, and give some "recreational ameinity" value to piece of regenerating bush that WCC has ignored for decades
We are "on track" to finish this track in about 4 months. If you want to help create a really useful and (we hope!) valuable new track for Johnsonville, please lend us a couple of hours of your time!
Where: Mclintock St (about 50 metres downhill from # 74 Mclintock St.)
When: 1pm Saturday 8 Augist
What to bring: A Spade and workgloves (if you have them - if not, we'll provide!)
Any Questions? (or to sign up for future track build initiatives), Text Graeme Sawyer on 027 444 1748

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
