Quiz Nights at Sprig & Fern Upper Queen Street
Last night was the first September Quiz Night raising funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice. We had so much fun!
Get a team together and come along one of the next three Tuesday's at Sprig & Fern Upper Queen with all proceeds coming to Hospice.
Our dates are: 12,19 & 26 September. 7pm start.
Quiz entry is $3 per person, around 6 to a team. The more teams we get to come along, the more money is raised 😊 It’s a good idea to book your team in for the night(s) you are attending.
We'd love to see you!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
