Commumity Garden Evans Bay Parade
What a beautiful and busy week we have had in Wellington.
On Tuesday our Kea Tamariki had an excursion to the Community Gardens located in Evans Bay Parade.
At the gardens - we stop at each raised garden and Jo talked about what we can see and the tamariki have LOTS to say as well about what they see, smell.
We spend some time at the Strawberry garden - looking for the flowers and talking about bees, pollination) and how the flowers turn into the fruit.
This created much excitement and it was decided we NEED to have strawberries in our garden too.
Below is a quote from one of our tamariki about our trip to the community garden!
Have a happy and safe weekend Whanau!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
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 it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
