FREE BOOKS NON-FICTION BOOKS: Plants, architecture, geography
Kia ora, I have several bags of FREE non-fiction books ex an architecture & landscape design studio. They are from a studio library clear out. Note: they still have their in-house library tags on the spine. Most topics along the lines of plants, building, urban design, geography, NZ. You are welcome to take as many bags/boxes of books as you'd like. Or you'd be welcome to shift through and just take the titles which interest you. (Could be good for a book fair). I'd leave these bags on my door step (Newell St, Pt.Chevalier) for collection. Just let me know when you'd like them put out for you.

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!
