Working Bees 🐝
We hold monthly working bees on the third Sunday of each month and are always looking for new people to join us. We are a fun crew doing some great work in the cemetery and learning about its history as we go.
If you can spare a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, then we would love to hear from you! There's no commitment to come every time and we find tasks suited to interests and abilities - from cleaning headstones, to clearing weeds and sweeping graves.
So if you would like to find out more, or be added to our Working Bee email list (where we advise dates, times and meeting places) then please email us: secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz

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!
