End of Winter Market 2021
Kia Ora! There’s officially less than a month to go until our End of Winter Market – September 25th will be a day to celebrate! We will run this event under alert level 1 or 2. Fingers crossed! Head along to the Northland Memorial Community Centre’s Main Hall to browse a variety of stalls showcasing Wellington’s talent. As you can see on our Facebook page, we’ve got stall-holders selling locally made goodies; from art and sustainable crafts to pottery, soap, candles, waffles, cacti and more! Plus, the DOPE food and drink trailer will be serving up delicious coffee and the perfect snacks. Yum! There’ll be face painting and more to keep the kids entertained, and performances from our regular users. With the winter chill easing off, it’s a great chance to get out in the community. Bring everyone along – family, friends, neighbours – and we’ll see you there!

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!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
