THE MONTHLY TE HORO COUNTRY MARKET IS ON THIS SUNDAY

Gary from Waikanae

Where:- The Te Horo Community Hall
School Road, Te Horo

When:- Sunday 4 September 10am - 1pm

Celebrate the arrival of SPRING with a visit to the Te Horo Country Market this Sunday.

A truly friendly community country market where people gather to chat, browse, score a bargain, taste some goodies and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with friends in our popup cafe along with some yummy homemade treats.

There’s an impressive range of arts and crafts (Mosaic Mirrors, Scented Candles, Merino Goodies and quilts) natural skincare, produce (Olive Oil, Honey, Preserves, baking etc), Junk For Joy - upcycled and repurposed furniture and homewares, Natural Health Supplements, Bric-a-Brac, books, plants, children's clothing, toys, Jigsaws and lots lots more.

And of course, there is our Seasonal Surplus stall where you can drop off surplus fruit and veges from your garden for sale - we sell it on your behalf and donate our percentage to local causes. Everyone wins and nothing gets wasted!

A great country market where you will find cheerful smiles and a lovely bunch of really friendly and hugely talented stallholders.

All are very very welcome - just don’t forget your masks (unless exempt).

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
