The Forgotten Garden

Zoeb from Pukekohe

penbyzee.wordpress.com...

In the fast-paced pursuit of material success, it’s easy to leave behind the roots that nurtured us. The Forgotten Garden is a heartfelt reflection on my journey away from my birthplace in India—a vibrant town rich with memories of childhood laughter and simple joys. Through this poem, I explore the consequences of neglecting my home soil for the allure of distant lands and the hope of returning one day to revive both the garden and the bond with my origins. This is a story of renewal, wisdom, and rediscovering where the heart truly belongs.
Enjoy the read, feedbacks and your thoughts are welcome.

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!
