A little bit about me...
HI to you all. I am known to many, but to the recent members either relocating to Te Aroha or having just decided to join this Neighbourly group, a big hello and lovely to have you on board. I am a in Centennial Ave, where we do heaps of fundraising for both local and various needs in other areas,. holding various events at our Villa, the last being the Platinum Jubilee to which over 200 supported, and from distances of over 5 hours driving. Our next is our Christmas Wonderland which commences beginning of December to January 6th. 2025.Our passion is 'Everything interesting" which represents some form of history. So Vintage cars of which we have several, a well stocked man cave; inside our Villa are cabinets of many Te Aroha items, The British Royal family, family history, beer steins, Bossons and so much more. We have small groups who book to enjoy the tour and with their donations we put the amount towards the end of year Christmas donations to give to the chosen charities or families for that year. There is far too much to describe. I am from a small village in Warfield Berkshire England, and my husband is a Kiwi with an English mother, his family history is part of our collection and is shown in a separate cabin. Should you wish to know more do come along and see us, and hopefully we will meet you during the month of December at our Christmas Wonderland. I am also a lead here on the site, so I am happy to answer any question you have and if i can't i will direct you to the person who can. Thank you

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!
