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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
