Where are the monarchs?
Something strange is happening. No monarchs flying around in my garden. By now I would expect to see at least 1 and more often than not, 2 or 3 whenever I look out my kitchen window. I have 5 swan plants ready for the normal invasion. Not a single caterpillar on any plant. What's going on?
Harvey Bowler Festival of Lights
Our Festival of Lights is well under way.
Thanks to Sponsors Electra, Property Brokers Levin, Levin New World, Horowhenua Chronicle and NZME for their support again this year.
Some Choice News!
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!
