Would you like to do a project that helps your community and makes the world a better place? What if we provided the money and a bit of guidance? For the first time ever we've opened a new youth-fund to help people aged 12-20 run their own awesome initiatives.
👉 www.wdc.govt.nz...
Types of eligible initiatives could be workshops, events, seminars, research and surveys, awareness campaigns, community activities, resources for sectors of the community, and more. Eligible initiatives are those that address a need and provide benefit to the Whangārei community. We are unable to support initiatives that provide private benefit to a small group or to individuals. Think about an idea that benefits lots of people, or people who really need it, and apply!

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.
Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.
He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."
If you are thinking of signing up for an apprenticeship, get in touch with us here
We’re sad to announce that Covid has forced the cancellation of our annual Daffodil Day street appeal. This will have a big impact on our fundraising, so we’re asking those who can to please donate online at daffodilday.org.nz. Thank you for your support Auckland.
