Garden open days
Just a reminder that we are closed for a private function this Saturday morning. If the weather is really good we may open for everyone in the afternoon in which case I'll post here and on my Fb page Carolyn Campbell Garden Design and Grooming. The tulips are truly spectacular this year so please come along to 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa, on Sunday 10.30 to 3.30. Entry by donation please. (suggested $5 to $10 per adult. Children free). This will help us buy the tulip bulbs for next year so we can put on another display to share with you all. Part of the proceeds will also be donated to the Wellington Hospital Eye Clinic. Thank you

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.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
