HAMILTON'S CHRISTMAS TREE BIG SWITCH-ON - SATURDAY 30 NOVEMBER AT 8:00pm

Rudi from Hamilton Lake

HAMILTON CHRISTMAS TREE - GARDEN PLACE - LIGHTS UP ON SATURDAY 30 NOVEMBER AT 8:00pm

New Zealand's biggest and most beautiful Christmas Tree
It’s 27 metres tall to the tip of the star. That’s over 6 stories high. It takes a team of 15 people to install the frame and the lighting, fluff the branches and hang the baubles. This tree is huge!
The tree dominates Garden Place once again in 2019 and will be a great focal point for the community to gather, watch, perform and celebrate the festive season.
The tree will light up for the first time on Saturday 30th November 2019 with a special event that includes the opportunity to sing some favourite Christmas carols.
The Christmas Tree continues to light up the December nights right through to New Year.

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!
