You Pay : $2,800 which covers your keep for the week long build plus a small contribution to build materials; plus airfares (currently from around $1600 but subject to fluctuations).
You get : More authentic insights into the country and its people than the average tourist; A real sense of achievement as you work alongside members of the local community to achieve their goals …and perhaps you’ll pick up some new skills.
You need : To be over 18, No special skills (everyone’s contribution is valuable), just a positive attitude and an open mind.

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!
