Free Sandringham Walking Tours

Angela Hume from SPiCE - Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment

Hi everyone, SPiCE (Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment) have produced a free audio Heritage Walking Tour of Sandringham. Local historian Andre Taber takes you on a trip around Sandringham, discovering how it became a hub for the South Asian Community and looks at what came before - the butchers, bakers and grocers who serviced the suburb when it was a farming community. You can download the audio tour here www.spice.org.nz...
It's a fascinating journey!

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!
