Meanwhile back in 1984, the bush is cleared and land is prepared for the building that we now know as the Glenfield Pool and Leisure Centre! 😮

“Excavations for Glenfield Centre, Sept. 1984, looking from Bentley Avenue across the Skatelands building to Downing Street. The roofline of the Glenfield Tavern is just visible below Glenfield Road and Downing Street Reserve is undeveloped. Retaining walls have been started below the Foodtown carpark. Two diggers are loading a truck with soil with two cranes operating on site. In the foreground are large drainage pipes.”

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
