Hi neighbours,

A spike in whooping cough cases has prompted Auckland health authorities to urge parents to immunise their children.

Children made up half of the 204 cases between November and January. During this period, 52 children were hospitalised, with infants under 1 year at highest risk.

It's the second wave of a nationwide outbreak, first declared in December 2017. To read more, click here

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!
