Did you know that monarch butterflies are, right now, in overwintering mode? They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks… View moreDid you know that monarch butterflies are, right now, in overwintering mode? They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks or on golf courses, anywhere where there's tall trees.
These monarchs will wait out the winter and return to our gardens in the spring to mate and lay eggs on swan plants. They need our help! (Thanks Elizabeth Amber for these gorgeous photos!)
Please help us look after our beautiful butterflies. This website is useful

The old unit at the hospital had nowhere for parents or caregivers and families to stay overnight – they had to sleep in a family room elsewhere in the hospital or at the marae on campus.
The new unit is part of an ongoing upgrade to the hospital site to help meet growing demands for health services in West Auckland.
Inside the new unit is a lounge for people who have just given birth, a separate parent kitchen and dining area, six cot bays with sleeping areas for parents and three dedicated rooms for overnight stays.

I'm a local landscaper & designer. I would like to offer my design services to someone wanting to re-do their garden space, free of cost.
I am a qualified and experienced horticulturalist and designer wanting to add more designs to my portfolio.
The only catch..the styles I'm wanting to specialise in and promote are the beautiful cottage garden or native gardens. Although I am a big believer in supporting our natural environment also, so a cottage design could also include some natives.
And the other catch..I would install the design at my standard rate.
Please reach out if this sounds of interest.
Happy Matariki 2022!
It's a time to celebrate new life, to remember those who’ve passed, and to plan for the future. Matariki is a time to spend with whānau and friends – to enjoy kai (food), waiata (song), tākaro (games), and haka.

Enjoy a leisurely walk and learn about the connection Māori have to the whenua (land) and Taiao (environment) through the sharing of Iwi stories, narratives and history.
Active Whakapapa aims to encourage correct pronunciation of traditional place names and educates about the deeper meaning behind each name. We want to contribute to more Te Reo Māori being spoken, heard and seen in our parks and green spaces. Book your free tickets at http://aucklandexperiences.co.nz/
Active Whakapapa is supported by the Local Activation Fund Programme, administered by Tataki Auckland Unlimited on behalf of the New Zealand Government.

Native planting at this site not only enhances a beautiful recreation site for residents of Tāmaki Makaurau, but also provides erosion control, helping prevent runoff into the harbour, and associated significant soil and water quality benefits.
In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent a day picnicking at Wenderholm — so come and help plant native trees for the Jubilee at this special site.
