Less waste, more food!

The Team from Nelson City Council

One of the great ways you can reduce your rubbish footprint is by composting your kitchen and garden waste.

Having a productive garden hinges on healthy soil, good gardening practices and a little bit of know-how. So we’ve prepared a handy Grow It Guide, see the Our Nelson story for details.

Message me if you’re interested, there is no pay at the moment sorry, however down the line as the blog starts earning money I will be able to compensate you for your services and I have no doubt that this blog will start earning.
I just require people who have a knack for both research and writing, cheers.

I have a couple of "rock n roll" dresses and others, including a warm winter coat, which I no longer require. Most of them worn once only, so they are like new. Size depends on your fitting i.e. mostly small. These could also fit a size 8 to 10. Come along and try them on. Viewing after 5pm or as conveniently arranged. Prices vary starting from $5.00 to $30 - just want them to find a good home and make someone feel special this Christmas/New Year party. One dress still has label on from Farmers - never worn. Cherry dress bought from Gizmos Richmond, worn only once. Red and green rockabilly scarves as new. Micky mouse dress only $5.00. Individual photos on request. Message me if you are keen. The clothing is from a smoke free home and well looked after. As I go through my cupboards I will be selling more things, all sorts of things not in use. Thank you for your interest.
I am trying to raise some funds for my greyhound pet who is 6 years old, who has no tear ducts, requiring medication 4 to 5 times a day for the rest of his life.

We are on the hunt for New Zealand's most original, even legendary, Santas - can you help?? This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.

Obviously, this person will also be the one that is called upon each year to don the red suit to go out and about posing for photos, handing out presents and just be an all-around nice charitable person.

If you know of someone, please leave us a comment with your details and how we can get in touch with your local Santa. COMMENT BELOW!
