SPADE AID POSTPONEMENT - Now Sunday 30th July
We have been monitoring the weekend’s weather closely and unfortunately the weather on Sunday has not changed. We’re expecting a heavy downpour early morning and steady rain/showers throughout the time we would be planting. As much as we love rain at times, we want this day to be enjoyable for the plants and the people, so have decided to postpone Spade Aid to Sunday 30th July, same time and same place!
For those people wanting to practise their amazing planting skills, don’t forget we have a community planting day the weekend before at the Tilley Road entrance, Paekakariki. For more details on this event, see goo.gl...
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

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!
