Opening of local Pataka (Community Pantry)
The wonderful team at BestStart Gillies Avenue, 181 Gillies Ave, Epsom have just created a beautiful Pataka (community pantry).
They created the Pataka after noticing an absence in the community for an easy, sustainable way to donate, swap and provide support for those without.
Their aim is to be able to give back to the local community and give support to those who need it whilst also ensuring that the environment is protected by being able to reduce, reuse and recycle.
They'd love for you to come and check it out, donate and help spread some aroha in our community!

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!
