Alison from Frankton

Those crocheters have been at it again over the last 6 weeks and have created a frothy pavlova christmas tree as an entry in the Trees at the Meteor show in Hamilton. About 14 of the Crochet Crew were involved in making either lilies or waffle shaped pieces to create the white base, and black lacy decorations with a multitude of Kiwiana icons like cockroaches, kia ora, fences, wooden clothespegs, black sun umbrelas attached, not to mention the eruption of putiputi (woven flax flowers)as a volcanic topknot! Trees at the Meteor is open from 7pm - 10pm, 14 -19 December, there is an admittance charge.

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!
