Spring cleaning not appropriate during lockdown, says waste boss

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

The right time to spring clean is not during a nationwide lockdown that aims to prevent the spread of coronavirus, a recycling boss says.

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!
