Hi neighbours

Nadine from Stuff

I'm Nadine, a reporter for Stuff and I'm wanting to do a story about the reality of the festive season for some people.

I'm wanting to talk to an older pensioner who will likely be alone at Christmas and finds it hard to get by on the pension.

Is this you? I'd love to talk to you if possible. I'd need to visit prior to Christmas and on Christmas Day, if possible.

You can email me at nadine.roberts@stuff.co.nz or leave a comment below and I can get in touch.

Thanks for reading!

We want to know: How do you feel about outdoor art?

Interested in the new works that will decorate the Garden City? The Press has you covered.

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!
