KeriTLC: How to start a vege garden
Ever wondered how to get started with a vege garden? There is never a better time than now! In the next meeting of the KeriTLC (Thurs 16/6 @ 6pm) we will be discussing pros and cons of various approaches. The most important question to ask: What do I want to get out of my garden? Every reason is valid: from getting some quiet time in nature to supplementing the food bill... your answer will clearly signpost which garden path to take! And there are certainly many.
Our meeting group is concerned with finding our own individual and healthy lifestyle, by discussing a range of topics from mindfulness, sourdough baking to edible flowers and more. We are meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month (for more than a year now) and are always happy to see new faces and hearing new ideas. When it comes to gardening our approach is definitely working with nature and we will be looking at different options depending on how much time, money and space you can (or are prepared to) spend. To find out more about the group visit the facebook page keritlc or email keritlc.info@gmail.com. As we only have limited space, please contact us beforehand.
Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
