Safer Plates Pop-Up Event
Due to recent events in the community with an increase in vehicle crime, and as requested by the community, we are running a pop-up Safer Plates event.
This will take place next Saturday 10 June 2023, 9am-11am in the carpark at the northern end of the Tawa Community Centre.
For a donation of just $5 per vehicle, you can have the standard screws on your number plates swapped for anti-theft tamper resistant screws.
We'll accept cash donations on the day (sorry we don't have eftpos), or you can make a secure online donation via our Givealittle page in advance through the link below (please consider ticking 'Yes' to the 'Add top-up donation' as this helps cover our fees to use Givealittle, but is completely optional).

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.
