Botanica refurbishments starting today (4 December)
Two parts of Whangarei’s Botanica, the Snow Conservatory and the Cactus house, will be closed from 4-22 December for repairs. But people looking for a green oasis in the city are still very welcome to visit Bonatica’s third part, the Filmy Fern house.
Both buildings will re-open to the public in time for Christmas. The fernery will still be open to visitors.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
