Kiwi kids really dig gardening!
After much digging, our five young gardening superstars have been unearthed for 2018! One of winning Young Gardeners of the Year is Josh Angelo (age 11) from Holy Cross School. Josh says: “My personal favourite thing to do in the garden is making experiments. I like to do experiments so we can help the plant growth, like once when I planted a plant when it was supposed to be planted in the summer but we planted it in the spring so we had to make a container or something else that would keep the plant warm, but still let it breathe.”
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!
