North Canterbury is set to host its first National Rose Show this weekend

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The New Zealand Rose Society has been holding national shows for more than 50 years, but this year marks the first time it will be held in this region.

Show conveners Michael and Marion Brown, from Loburn, said this year's show, with the theme of Rose Magic, will be held at the Woodend Community Centre on November 23 to 25.

"There will be something for everyone; it will be an event that smells lovely and looks lovely," the organisers say.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
