An introduction from Al
Hi,
I have been a resident of Mairangi Bay for over 40 years and love it.
Over that time a lot has changed.
For a profession, I am a Gardner/Lawn Mower. That profession has kept me active over the past half decade! I have had numerous clients who are all pleased with my services. But, as expected this number is slowly reducing.
If you are needing this to be undertaken I may be able to assist you.
I have obtained several Certificates in Horticulture and have had a desire for Naturally produced foods foods.
Keep smiling, despite the horrendous weather we have been suffering over the past few days.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
