Do you love butterflies?

Jacqui from Blockhouse Bay

I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.

I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.

Here's some tips as well that I pulled from the last e-news from the MBNZT (Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust).
The e-news is free and comes out every Friday, with tips and tricks to bring more beautiful butterflies to your garden in the season. www.mb.org.nz... .

We're lucky in Blockhouse Bay because our swan plants are not "annuals" - we can have plants that last for years and of course if you let them they will self-seed, providing you and your neighbours with more plants... more caterpillars, more butterflies. (If you can control the social wasps, that is.)

Feel free to share this message with others in your neighbourhood(s) - it would be great to have more people looking after our butterflies.

The MBNZT has a great “special offer” available now for new financial members: George Gibbs’ excellent book on “The Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand” as well as a colourful ID poster of New Zealand’s butterflies, both absolutely free. And they put the subscription to really good use… they’ve listed 19 ways (and I suspect there are more) on their website.

www.nzbutterflies.org.nz...

Both of these gifts are free right now when you show your support for the MBNZT, $35 per annum to receive the magazines digitally, or only $45 to receive them in the mail.

Kia ora neighbours, residents of badly damaged Laingholm Drive face months of long detours after a bad slip.

In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.

A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.

Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.

Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.
