Macrocarpa battens - Easter special for Neighbourly members
We have a nice line of macrocarpa battens in stock at the moment. These are fence battens 50x50x1200, and farm grade so may have knots, wane etc. However some are very clean and would make a great front fence or deck balustrade. Price is $1.50ea but is reduced to $1.25 for Neighbourly members.
There is also a line of very tidy 70x40 bandsawn battens for $2.90 each
Not treated so you can burn any off-cuts. Macrocarpa is a naturally durable cypress with a great smell! Pop in to our yard in Peat Street (opposite the deer park) and have a look.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
