Following a career in the health sector Mich Newton changed paths which led her to the role of Visitor Services Manager at Auckland Botanic Gardens. She says I have been enjoyed being able to satisfy my love of plants, gardens, and people. Responding to the changing ways our visitors seek information, adapting to trends and adopting technological advances have all been part of my teams’ journey to connect people with plants and the natural environment. We have learned the need to keep information simple and relevant to visitor needs. Along with my role at Auckland Botanic Gardens I am a member of the executive committee of Interpretation Network New Zealand.

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.

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!
