Market this Saturday
Sunny weather (we've been rather lucky in that department over the last couple of months!) and a fantastic range of stalls again - what's more to wish for on a Saturday morning in Thames? And with Christmas around the corner it's the perfect occasion for getting some beautiful gifts - sewing, knitting, T-shirts, jewellery etc. etc. Other highlights of the market are organic produce at Pakaraka Permaculture's stall, Ohaene Organics with freshly lifted Campina potatoes, Stratos Olive Oil, Kate and Kurt with strawberries and other berries. 700 Block, Pollen Street, Thames 8am to 12pm.

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!
