Featherston Community Garden

Julia Neighbourly Lead from South Wairarapa District

We had an enthusiastic group of about twelve at our meeting regarding a sustainable community garden in Featherston. We agreed we'd ask the Community Board to consider allowing our group to kickstart an initial garden on the vacant site. The plants would be in containers (possible low-side skips) to enable them to be moved. We think Featherston needs something showy to attract attention on the Main Street and the try to position us as the sustainable (no-spray) growers centre of the South Wairarapa. The idea would be to start here, then to expand to allotment gardens for interested people in the community. We'll be putting these ideas forward at the Community Pot Luck on Sunday at Anzac Hall, 2-4 PM. Please come and add your support!

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!
