Performances of 'Journeys Framed', a unique, short theatre piece of movement and sound, take place at Alberton on Waitangi Day this week. Brought to to life by distinguished performers from SeniorsDANCE company, the piece explores the experience of Pakeha migration to Aotearoa.

Performances are at 12pm, 1pm & 2pm. Pop in to see these captivating dances take place in the ambient setting of the ballroom. Alberton's tearoom will be open serving savouries & sweet treats such old-fashioned NZ jam tarts (also fondly remembered as cheesecakes) and tea from the vintage china! Young ones will be entertained by Enchanted Walk Auckland fairy trail in the garden. The house will be open with free entry all day.

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!
