Hamilton Gardens

Glen from Flagstaff

Thanks to Councillor Angela O'Leary yesterday at Council, she has pushed through a resolution that a proper business managment plan be adopted for the Gardens. This will mean that every avenue for revenue/expenses will be looked at to enable the remaining Gardens to be finished within a proper time frame. This will also mean that any indication of entry fees being charged will be thoroughly discussed and probably taken out to public consultation. So there is no need to panic everybody. She has had more people contact her on her Facebook page regarding this matter than there were people voting in the last local body elections. How strange is that? People don't vote to choose their representatives but they jump up and down when one of those people suggest an idea to charge for something!!! The old saying goes.........if you haven't voted - you have no right to complain....
How very true.... But I'm glad so many people reacted as I'm a passionate supporter/volunteer at the Gardens and its great to know they are so supported by everyone.

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!
