Do something different this summer
The Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival is on 20 Feb – 3 March, and we’re bringing a few different events to the mix this year.
Don’t miss the NZ premiere of circus-cabaret Deluxe Deluxe! Explore the gardens in ways you’ve never done so before with interactive garden experiences, or enjoy a line-up of emerging young opera stars on the Waikato River Explorer.
Book your tickets now through Ticketek to secure your place at one, two or ten of our exciting events. We'd love to see you there.

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!
Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?
The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.
This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
