Give our street trees a drink
The dry summer makes life hard for our street trees. Watering is carried out regularly by contractors but the trees like a helping hand from residents too. Water with a hand-held hose or a watering can in the morning or evening. Using recycled water from the bath or sink is welcome.
You can help care for street trees by:
• Keeping lawnmowers away from the trunk to prevent bark damage
• Not spraying around the tree base
• Reporting any vandalism or wind damage.
Contact the Council on 03 520 7400 if you notice a problem with a street tree. https://www.marlborough.govt.nz/recreation/parks-and-reserves/trees/street-trees

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!
