Mosaic course Sunday 11th and 18th 1 - 5pm
We have a new 8 hour Mosaic workshop with Jill Askew which will run over two Sundays in September. (Sunday 11th and 18th 1 -5pm).
It's open to 13 years +. $100 for Karori Arts and Crafts members; $120 for non-members and $90 for 13 -18 year old.
The course will give you the skills to let your imagination run wild and create something beautiful and unique for your garden or home. Just bring along your broken crockery destined for landfill or an old table or pots that has seen better days?
Your tutor, Jill Askew, loves seeing people being creative and producing something beautiful. Enrol via the kacc.org.nz website.
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!
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.
