Blenheim’s Seymour Square wins international award
Blenheim’s Seymour Square has received a prestigious Green Flag Award, endorsing it as one of the best green spaces in the world. The award scheme is an international quality mark for parks and green spaces, administered here by the New Zealand Recreation Association.
Marlborough District Council Parks and Reserves staff, who look after more than 250 parks and reserves across the region, were absolutely thrilled to receive the recognition. It’s the first time Council has entered the competition and it’s hoped the win will bring new visitors to Seymour Square’s beautiful gardens.

Festive Farmers' Market Christmas Market
SharpAs Tool Tips
I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.
Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,
Ron
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!
