100% of the money will go directly to BirdCare Aotearoa.

Artwork details:

Olivia took the reference photo for this piece herself, in the south island on Lake Ohau (fun fact: her now husband proposed to her a few minutes after taking the pic!)

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!
