Celebrity pops into town
Down to earth celebrity has many humourous anecdotes and tips for life.
Gardening guru and former editor of New Zealand Gardener Lynda Hallinan was guest speaker at the Glitterati Garden Party, held to launch this year's Whangarei Garden Discovery. 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the garden discovery and fittingly 20 gardens, rural and coastal gardens from Parua Bay, Maunu, Maungatapere, Kamo to Kauri were opened to public for viewing.
Hosted at the Whangarei Quarry Gardens on November 17, Hallinan gave an entertaining perspective of gardening husbands and children. She also signed copies of her latest book "Foggydale Farm, Jam Sessions".
Music by Sistema and Northland Opera, cocktails and prizes for the best dressed added to the entertainment line up. Members of the original committee were in attendance during the mix and mingle that preceded the three day garden trail along with many of the gardeners whose hard work was on display.

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!
