Hello neighbours, here's a look at some new plants out in garden centres this month.
Whether you want to explore the rainforest, dine in wine country or escape to an island, there are so many ways to love your weekend in Auckland. Just ask All Blacks legend Sir John Kirwan.
There have been recent incidents where a male knocks on doors stating he is from a company and he is here to check smoke alarms. He wears a reflective vest, and may even purport to have an ID card.

He wears a reflective vest, and may even purport to have an ID card. He comes across as very plausible. Once he is let inside the house, he looks around for opportunity to steal. Usually he grabs a handbag and takes off. He appears to target elderly people, but may not be limited to doing that.
Police advise residents to check through a window before opening their door to anyone. If in doubt about the person, do not answer your door, if they continue to bother you and you are concerned ring 111. If you talk to the person and they say they want to come inside and check your smoke alarms – refuse the offer, shut the door and if possible ring 111 as soon as possible to advise of this incident. You do not have to let anybody inside your home, no matter what they ask of you.

New Zealand Red Cross works in communities across Aotearoa and around the world to help improve the lives of vulnerable people. Whether it’s responding to disasters like the Kaikoura earthquakes and the Edgecumbe flooding, teaching life-saving skills to children, delivering a hot meal, supporting former refugees or providing a lift to hospital, our volunteers and members are doing good things in neighbourhoods around the country and overseas. By choosing to run for Team Red Cross, you will ensure we can be here for good to help the people who need it most.
When you commit to being a Charity Hero and running for Team Red Cross and raising funds you get:
• Free entry into your chosen race
• A really cool Red Cross Dri-Fit runners t-shirt
• Fundraising pack, full of tips and advice, plus professional one-on-one support from Red Cross staff
• Training guides for all levels
• Sports massage voucher when you reach $500 in donations
• Free transport (ferry or coach) to the race start location
• Personalised charity photograph, race bib and thank you certificate
• Entry to the Team Red Cross Facebook group
• Official Charity Runner medal when you’ve finished the race
• Post-race celebration at our Red Cross tent in Victoria Park, where you can relax, enjoy a meal and chill out with family and team mates
'Own Place Runner' option
If you don't think you can raise $1,000, no worries! You can still register to run for Red Cross as an 'own place runner'. Own place runners do not receive their registration for free and you can set your own fundraising target. However, you will still be part of the team, receive one-on-one support from Red Cross and get rewards for reaching milestone targets, like the dry fit T shirt attached when you reach $500!
