COMMUNITY SUPPORT
I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to the following amazing supporters for their generous contributions:
www.facebook.com... for the Weber BBQ (a fabulous friendly local specialising in house cleans etc)
Duck Island in Takapuna for the scoop vouchers
Bunnings Silverdale for the $50 gift card
Burgerfuel for the free burger and shake vouchers, plus a few other products and services from incredible community members
These contributions are all part of an I AM HOPE fundraiser I’m running for Mental Health Awareness Week this month. If you’d like to get involved by donating your time, products, services, or making a standard donation, please reach out to me.
Join me for a quiz night at Paeroa Brewery on the evening of September 26th (Thursday), with all ticket proceeds going directly to I AM HOPE. Ticket details to be advertised next week.

Thank you so much. Each day, my faith in our community and the incredible people who make it up fills me with hope for future generations and what truly matters in life. If we aren't making a difference in the lives of ourselves and others, what are we really doing?

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?

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.
