Help Oke to Grow Mighty Kids...
Hey folks, this June Oke is proud to have been selected as a charity for the One New Zealand "One Good Kiwi" App and we would love it if you'd vote for Oke and help increase our share of the $100,000! 💥
It's been a really epic year for Oke so far and we're currently planning working bee #32 at Kereru Park Campus on Saturday 24th June. This will be our fifth school garden build of 2023, which is incredible as we're only in June and we've only ever built seven school gardens in a single year before now. We have an ever growing waiting list of schools (ten on the list at the moment, with each @ $20,000) and in order to support all our amazing school gardens, we're looking to grow the Oke Crew as well. In March we bought on board our new Oke School Mate, who assists the schools with gardening workshops, planting resources, term and season guides and that helping hand to keep things growing. 🐛 💛
All you need to do to help, is hit that link below and throw the tokens our way, so we can grab as much of that $100k as possible and continue to Grow Mighty Kids! 🌱 💛

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!
