Seniors Day Out - SDO

Kayleen from Orewa

SENIORS DAY OUT - Ayrilies Garden

Last week we had a fabulous time traveling to Whitford, Auckland where we first had a delicious lunch at The Lime Tree Cafe, salt and pepper squid, phyllo parcels, chowder and so much more.

We then travelled a short way up the road to the world-famous Ayrlies Garden where we were given a warm welcome by our host Luana before taking a relaxed stroll through the gardens filled with beautiful water features, stretching lawns, and gardens brimming with familiar and unfamilar plants.

To finish off the trim it was ice cream in a cone as we came back into Silverdale.

I look forward to our next trip in April.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
