LOVE LOCAL

Porirua City Council

This festive season let’s show our local businesses some love!

When we buy local, our money stays local. If there are more successful local businesses, there’s more revenue, and more job opportunities right here in our local communities.

Porirua businesses are amazing and offer a variety of quality goods, top-notch services and are awesome hospitality hosts.
If you’re looking to do some last-minute Christmas shopping or planning on having some fun over the summer break, why not choose to #LoveLocal and support our Porirua businesses.

To find out more about Porirua businesses visit poriruacity.govt.nz/businessdirectory or join
the Facebook group Love Local – Porirua.

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!
