FREE House and Garden tickets

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

NZ House and Garden fans will want to check out this opportunity! Volunteer for one day (either Friday 13th or Saturday 14th of March) and attend the other for FREE!

Interested? Call 03-577-9388, email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz, or apply online at marl.volunteermatch.org.nz...

More info:
We’re currently looking for volunteers to help with the tours. Volunteers will be stationed at each of the houses (from 8:30am - 4pm) helping with security, car parking, and managing the flow of people visiting.
The tour gives people the opportunity to view 8 beautiful, handpicked homes and gardens.
As a thank you for your time and assistance, you’ll be provided with a copy of the latest NZ House & Garden magazine, and a ticket to visit the rest of the houses on the tour. Volunteers will receive a free full day ticket (on the other day of the tour in Blenheim).
Volunteers must be over 18 years of age.
As the charity partner of the event, the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ receives $220,000 in cash and free advertising, this goes a long way to help Kiwis affected by breast cancer.

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!
