Graham Christensen - open studio this weekend
In conjunction with the Art Trail Manawatu, Graham is opening his studio to visitors over this weekend from 10am to 4pm daily. His studio is half way between Ashhurst and Palmerston North on Glenburn Road - which runs off Napier Road.
Graham’s paintings depict his life-long love of farming and the rugged landscape that New Zealand offers. Somewhat aptly, his large, light-filled studio is a converted room in his hay barn.
There is no charge to visit and we have put on a bit of a spread for those attending - think wine and cheese or coffee and muffins (depending on what you are in the mood for!)
All the details and a map can be found on his website home page: www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...

Tacking the bamboo-like pest in the Manawatū
🌱 A new national scheme led by Biosecurity New Zealand is tackling an invasive weed that’s threatening wetlands, waterways, and forests in and around Manawatū, reports the Manawatū Standard.
💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
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!
