Rachel Walker & Rika Nagahata Exhibition Opening This Weekend
An exhibition featuring two amazing bird artists, Rachel Walker and Rika Nagahata opens this weekend at Petone's foreshore art and gift gallery. Due to Covid 19 social distancing, the opening is spread over the whole weekend instead of having an evening opening event. If you'd like to meet the artists, Rachel will be at the gallery between 1 and 4pm today, Saturday and Rika will be here to meet you Sunday afternoon. The images attached are by Rachel, first five, and Rika, next five. There will also be live music to enjoy this afternoon by jazz pianist Don Franks and guests. We also have a fantastic new range of NZ made gifts to check out.

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.”

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!
