Poll: Should babies be allowed in cafes and restaurants?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

While Jill Murphy was sitting at a cafe down with her partner and two-year-old daughter, a woman at the next table sighed loudly and said in a dismayed tone: "People want to go out and enjoy their food, you know. They don't want to have to put up with children."

She wrote in her opinion piece that she felt guilty for ruining everyone's lunch. To read more about her experience, click here.

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!
