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 Finn Meijer (age 11) from Waihopai School. Finn says: “I love not only growing the vegetables, but cooking and potting the vegetables as well.
My favourite is making kale chips because it isn’t too hard and they taste really good. I also love having a beehive at school which we make honey with. I also love weeding and taking responsibility with the garden too.”
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!
