Camellia Society meeting

Lesley from Waikanae

The Sasanquas are coming out around Waikanae and no petal blight at this time of year. Have you got some flowering? If so, why not enter them in the novice section at the next meeting of the Kapiti Branch of the NZ Camellia Society. Everyone is welcome. The meeting is on Monday April 1st, from 2-4pm at the Presbyterian Church Hall, 43 Ngaio Road, Waikanae. Our guest speakers will be Beverley Gatfield and Margaret Haywood demonstrating the “Propagation and pruning of miniature roses”. Bring your camellias for the in-house competition. Come at 1.30pm to enter blooms (with two leaves). We always have afternoon tea, a sales table, and great raffles. Visitors most welcome.

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!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
