Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st š„³š
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnāt the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itās the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This yearās theme is āSmall Things Make a Big Differenceā - we couldnāt agree more!
Let us know how youāre celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to āexuberanceā? š„
In The Postās opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weāre āallergic to exuberance.ā
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itās worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens arenāt seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days ā the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoās 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!
