Springston Community Garden Autumn Pruning Demonstration
**** What a fantastic response! We've reached our max capacity for Sunday already! I think if we add any more visitors it'll affect the viewing/hearing ability & we don't want anyone leaving disappointed! Thanks to all that have registered - if by chance you can't make it please let us know, there's still a lot of interest coming in. If you've RSVP on Facebook or Neighbourly but haven't yet made contact you're still on the list, please message through with your contact details & suburb you're coming from so we can add it to our registration in advance. 🍁🍂🍎 ****

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!
