Health warning for gardeners

Neighbourly.co.nz

A health warning has been issued for gardeners after a Dunedin man died from Legionnaires' disease less than a week after handling potting mix.

People are advised to watch for signs of legionellosis, with early symptoms (similar to the flu), appearing two-ten days after exposure.

Gardeners are reminded to take extra care when handling potting mix, soils or compost. Click here for more advice.

Poll: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

🎉 Exciting news for Southland! We’re getting a brand new museum – the Te Unua Museum of Southland!

⏳ The not-so-great news? It’s still a little way off. The Invercargill City Council has decided to wait until the museum is fully finished in late 2027 before opening, instead of opening parts early at extra cost.

We want to hear from you: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages, even if it costs more, or is waiting for the full experience the better option?
