Yellow Ribbon week at Botany Toyota!
It's National Road Safety week and to support the cause the Botany Service team yellowed up! And yes ... that is our owner Tony Howard right front in a fetching yellow sequinned hair bow!
One of the things we are encouraging our customers to start doing this week is give our young people newly on the road and displaying 'L' plates a break - remember ... they're just learning and trying their best!
Cheers to our friends over at RYDA Road Safety NZ for the yellow ribbons so we can show our support!

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.

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!
