Poll: What do you think should happen?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A bid to turn a historic former munitions facility into a crafting hub has won some city council backing, and the possibility of cash with it.

Hamilton City Council had earmarked $200,000 earmarked for the demolition of an old facility on Flynn Park in Hamilton East. A group of councillors wants to redirect that to a proposed revamp led by the Waikato Guild of Woodworkers.

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!
