The Dahlia Kids Book Launch
We did it! We wrote a book! The Dahlia Kids welcome you to their book launch.
When: 11 November 2024, 2pm
Where: Ngawha Innovation and Enterprise Park
The Dahlia Kids will host an afternoon with a talk, a quiz with prizes and nibbles and pink lemonade to celebrate their achievements on writing and publishing their new book. It is a 244 page hardback book full of colourful photos and follows their unschooling adventures on their true kiwi lifestyle block on an ex-girlguides campground called Trefoil Park. Here they have set up their own dahlia pick your own business and dahlia breeding programme. Now they have written a book all about their adventures, sharing their dahlia knowledge, New dahlia cultivars, unschooling lifestyle and inspirational outlook on life.
This event is FREE however tickets must be reserved in the shop at www.greenfootedkiwi.co.nz... (a koha for the Dahlia Kids' efforts would be very well received)

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
