Windback Wednesday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

How far we have come in such a short period. This photograph of central Christchurch was taken on May 22, 2012, little more than a year after the earthquakes. How different the city looks now - Te Pae, Tūranga and the housing of the east frame are all bold additions. Do you recognise any buildings which have since been demolished?

Flowers for free ????

Alastair & Barbara from Harewood

Very disappointed that our front garden had a 14 bud Christmas Regal Lilly cut and taken with several others last night, but what it lead others to do was worse damage. They ripped out other flowers and some may not recover. Do not come back tonight, as we are cutting all of them today.

Some Choice News!

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!
