- “This has really brought back some memories, it is wonderful”

Over 150 pictures are on display showing Onehunga since the 1850s, including some beautiful large panoramas, indicating just what Onehunga has lost and how industry and roading have shaped the foreshores.

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!
