Te Ahumairangi

Sheila Linton from Grow Te Ahumairangi Forest

PLEASE RE-LEASE ME, LET ME GO...
Last Sunday we made good progress on pulling up the swathe of sycamore-lings under
and around the main catchment gully. The Matai, Kohekohe, Totara, Hedycarya and Fuchsia trees are growing well. The soil hasn't dried out so much this year (thanks to an indifferent summer and despite the fierce winds).

This coming Sunday morning I want to tackle the light Spring weed growth around our planting above Karl Tischler's property. Don't forget to bring your rubberised gloves if you have some (the leather spares I have are too clumsy for this finger-work).
If we have sufficient numbers there are some light wells that need opening above Matai planted among the Mahoe canopy.

See you just before 9:30am at 155 Cecil Road, Wilton. The forecast is for fine sunny weather, so hopefully we can take refreshments outside on the back deck under the umbrella afterwards.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
