The workshops kick off with an introduction to composting, worm farms and Bokashi, with an opportunity to ask composting questions – a great introduction if you've wondered about composting but not quite been sure how to get started.
Composting's a great way to stop food and garden waste going to landfill, to create great fertiliser for your garden, and even to help protect our climate. There are many different ways to compost, and this workshop will help you find the right method for your household.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

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!
