Macrame Workshop

Silvia from Te Kowhai

💖Macrame Workshop💖
A few spaces still available at our mother's day workshop - Sat. 8th May. Venue: Te Kowhai. More details here: www.facebook.com...
If you've always wanted to give macrame a go, but don't know how to get started, this workshop is perfect for you. Here you will learn some of the basic macrame knots (which you will then be able to apply to a huge range of other macrame projects) and create a gorgeous macrame heart and a couple of keyrings to take home.

These make wonderful mother's day gifts, or better still: spend a couple of hours with that special person in your life and together learn a new creative skill.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? đŸ„

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
