Crop Swap Feb
Next Crop Swap is on this Sunday 4th Feb at Waimarama Community Gardens, starting at 10.30 sharp.
We are part of the national organisation. Crop Swaps take place all around NZ, first started in Taranaki 14 years ago and still going strong. For the purpose of swapping harvests from our gardens. If you have too many zucchinis or citrus fruit bring them along and take home other beautiful produce, maybe fresh fruit or vegs or preserves or plants and seedlings. Always something good to choose from.
Also a social event to catch up with friends and like-minded people. We want more people to benefit so bring your friends, neighbours and kids along too.
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!
