Helping each other out during coronavirus
Hi everyone,
I'd like to start a conversation about organising to help the vulnerable in the community, especially the elderly, to prepare and stay safe during the coronavirus. It would be great if we could (safely, and within MoH guidelines) organise getting the contact info of volunteers to people who may need help with buying groceries, walking dogs, finding entertainment (e.g. library books) and anything else that may be difficult during a period of self-isolation.
Alternatively if there is already a group doing this, please let me know so I can join!
If anyone has ideas about how to organise this kind of community thing, please let me know :)
Thanks.

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!
