Scam Emails

This is a type of many Emails that are floating around,
"Dear customer,
We’re sorry to say, we were unable to deliver your package.

Our driver tried to deliver your parcel on 09.08.2021 and again on 10.08.2021 with no success, as he was given the wrong address on the postage label.
This can be sometimes due to an error made by the sender.

Some Choice News!

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!
