Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

For Waitangi Day all staffed historic sites run by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga will be open with free entry.

In the atmospheric setting of the Victorian ballroom, catch a performance of ‘Journeys Framed’, a unique, short theatre piece of movement and sound, exploring the experience of Pakeha migration to Aotearoa, creatively brought to life by distinguished performers from SeniorsDANCE company.

Performance times are 12pm, 1pm & 2pm. No bookings required, just turn up to see this moving and thoughtfully produced mini production choreographed by Susan Jordan.

Enjoy a spot of tea and a savoury or sweet treat on the verandah in the pop-up tea room (self-service due public holiday. No bookings required) before or afterwards or bring a picnic to enjoy the serenity of the garden.

Children will be entertained by the Enchanted Walk - a community art project featuring over 30 secret doors and hidden fairy and elf homes tucked under plants and in tree trunks.

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!
