Covid-19 lockdowns denied the dames the chance to celebrate their 100th birthday in October 2021 so Auckland Council is reintroducing them to the public this week.
“It’s been pain-staking work to sympathetically restore these beautiful old heritage glasshouse buildings which have hosted weddings, musical recitals and APEC world leaders,” Desley Simpson chair of the Auckland Domain committee and Deputy Mayor said.
The buildings have not simply been restored - they’ve been made even better, she said.
“The sensitive seismic upgrading and attention to detail has not only saved but enhanced these key historic buildings,” Tracey Hartley of Salmond Reed Architects the company charged with overseeing the restoration said.
Works began in early 2021 and carried out in two stages with each of the glasshouses taking approximately 12 months to complete at a cost of $5.62m.

His Auckland visit offers a most special opportunity to learn from an inspirational speaker, one who has taught meditation globally for over two decades. Ashirvad learnt meditation from the late Indian spiritual master Sri Chinmoy, and his free courses combine a wealth of practical exercises with many personal insights and experiences.
A marathoner, writer, longtime meditation practitioner and traveller, he has the gift of making meditation accessible and simple, while highlighting the deeper understanding that through meditation we are responding to a deeper, spiritual awakening in our lives. Admission is free throughout.
When: March 21, 23, 24, 7.00pm – 8:30pm
Where: the Fickling Convention Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Mt Eden
This is a structured, progressive 3-part course, try to attend all three evenings to gain the most benefit. No admission after the second evening please.

If you live near Sturges Road and this is your dog or know who’s dog it is, you need to come get it and secure your fencing. It gets out a lot, running on the road, chasing kids on scooters and terrifying cats. Unsure if it’s friendly but
I can’t get close enough to get a better pic or read the collar. Poor pup is gonna get hurt at this rate, people speed along this road.
I have lovely bees making a hive inside a large upturned pot. As my garden isn't large, its not suitable for them. There must be a hive seeker in West Auckland - can't find one on internet.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?
