Uplands Kindergarten
A special thank you to the local Men's Shed for refurbishing our digger. We purchased this over 15 years ago from a small family business in Matamata - Baxendine Brothers. Sadly they do not operate any more (as far as I am aware) and the digger was in need of some serious TLC. The Men's Shed came to the rescue and practically rebuilt our wonderful and much loved digger. I look forward to seeing many more children enjoying the digger in our sandpit over the next 15 years and more!

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!
