Water Use and restrictions - COME ON INVERCARGILL
Come on Invercargill...I have just read ALL The latest council blurbs and comments from southlanders on the newest restrictions....As a North Islander import who has lived in Invers for 6 years and loves it, the town and the people... I have to say I am so disappointed by the attitudes of some many people to this ban. YES ICC should have acted sooner, YES they shouldn't have a second set of rules for themselves (ie: museum roof etc)YES it's sad for our gardens....BUT COME ON, pull together and stop having such bad attitudes...I have seen posts and comments from so many saying they will just 'water in dark' or other such nonsense...we are all in this together...in the north island this is normal every summer, towns pull together to save water and don't have such a crappy attitude about it...you can use grey water, save shower water etc...this is normal for people who live on tank water most of the time. I for one will be being a 'good neighbor' to all and watching our water useage, saving what we can and watching and talking to anyone I see breaking the rules. We can't all think 'I'm only one person..watering my garden..etc won't my a big difference'...IT WILL.

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!
