Poll: How are the traffic islands near you?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Work starts this month on a $300,000 “spruce up” to pour concrete over of 17 “difficult to maintain” traffic island sites with lawns or gardens around Hamilton.

The project is said to be primarily aimed at better safety for staff and the public - but the move will also generate annual savings, the city council said.

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!
