Free Seed bomb workshops this weekend at Ngā Manu
Be prepared to get your hands dirty!
For the season of celebrating the Maori New Year, signalled by Puanga and Matariki whetu, we are offering two Seed-bomb making sessions for tamariki/rangatahi. These sessions are related to two whetu in particular, Tupuanuku and Tupuarangi, of the Matariki Constellation/Kahui Whetu. We will make acknowledgements to these whetu as part of the session.
Bring a container to take away your dirt bombs for throwing in your garden at home. Run by EnviroSchools.
Koha entry. Admission to the reserve not included. Bookings not required.
Saturday 15 July, 2.30pm and Sunday 16 July, 11am

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.
