Burglary not enough to stop Gear Homestead re-opening

Reporter Community News

An experienced Wellington restaurateur's efforts to breathe new life into a historic Porirua homestead have been dealt a cruel blow, burgled less than a fortnight out from its re-opening.
Michael Hollings, who co-owns Wellington institutions Chow, The Library bar, The Little Waffle Shop and Le Samourai, recently took on the challenge of transforming Gear Homestead into Gear Eatery and Bar.
On Saturday, about $7000 worth of tools.
Hollings, however, is determined not to let the theft stop him and is still planning to re-open May 7.

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!
