They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks or on golf courses, anywhere where there's tall trees.
These monarchs will wait out the winter and return to our gardens in the spring to mate and lay eggs on swan plants. They need our help!
Please help us look after our beautiful butterflies. This website is useful

The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is seeking a Companion Shopper to accompany elderly passengers on alternate weeks to Pakuranga Plaza or Botany Town Centre.
Being a Companion Shopper is an opportunity to do more than a job, it’s a chance to do some real good for people, who no longer drive or don’t have family support to help them shop for grocery items.
A Companion Shopper with the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle will suit a one-of-a-kind individual with a history of community involvement and, most of all a big heart!
If you’re interested in becoming a Shopping Companion, please contact lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz
