Looking for something to do with your preschooler?
WADESTOWN PLAYGROUP is open for Term 3. If you haven't attended before, we are located at the Wadestown plunket rooms, right next to the newly renovated fully fenced playground. Our hours are Mondays and Fridays 9.30am to 11.30am. Come and check us out for a free session, then its only $25 per child for a term (under 12m free). We have amazing toys inside and crafts galore, and an epic sandpit with loads of outdoor toys. You don't need to be based in Wadestown to attend, we have families from surrounding suburbs join us, and it's a lovely relaxed environment for the preschoolers to enjoy, and for parents/caregivers to have a coffee.
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!
