Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.
Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.
A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.
National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.

In the first few years of operation, there could be up to 300 return trips by waste trucks which will increase to 500 return trips by 2060. These figures aren't inclusive of landfill staff, service vehicles and visitors. This stretch of road in Dome Valley happens to be one of New Zealand's deadliest.

The story of Godspell follows Jesus and his disciples, and his teachings mainly based around the Gospel of Matthew, told through parable, song, and dance. Most will know Godspell for some of the chart-smashing songs, such as “All for the Best”, “Bless the Lord” and “Day by Day”.
Originally produced on the New York stage by Edgar Lansbury, Stuart Duncan and Joseph Beruh. Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak. Music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.
