Poll: Do you think a new centre for homeless people would help?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton City councillor is throwing her weight behind a homeless centre in the CBD, which would see funds destined for a Garden Place playground redirected for the project.

Anna Casey-Cox says the centre would be a “more supportive” option to try and sort out anti-social behaviour in the CBD than the “enforcement” approach.

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!
