Community Garden from your home
I have thought of what seems like a great idea to me. With rising costs of fuel etc, i thought that if we are able to grow somethings ourselves and barter / share with our neighbours, we might be able to bring down our grocery bills.
So on our shared driveway, ive planted perpetual spinach, peas, oregano , italian parsley and chilean guava, and mint.All neighbours are welcome to pick and pluck whatever they want. That way instead of useless pittosporum or some other nonsensical hedge , we have a living hedge of fresh produce.
I Also regulary have stock of bay, rosemary , kaffir lime , curry leaf , thyme, (many varieties), oregano, marjoram, mint , vietnamese mint , which im happy to barter/ share with our community.
Our neighbours in the front like the idea and have offered me their beets and ive passed on some chilli plants and chillies to them( they ate the whole one once and instantly regretted it), but thats a fun story to tell after a few beers!!
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
UoA Hayfever Study - Participants Needed
Kia ora everyone,
My name is Sethmi, and I am a student at the University of Auckland. I am conducting a study under the guidance of the Ear Nose and Throat team at the university. We are looking to see the benefit of a nasal spray adaptor in improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hayfever, compared to a standard nasal spray. This study involves using 2 different nasal spray devices, and online questionnaires. This study does not require any in-person appointments.
Please see the attached flyer for more information and eligibility criteria. In addition to this, please not that you are not eligible if you currently experience asthma and/or take asthma medication.
If you are interested in participating, please email me at sran718@aucklanduni.ac.nz for more information.
Thank you for your interest in our study, I look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Sethmi
