Make a Dreamcatcher
Learn to weave a Dreamcatcher with Nicky Samuel
A special workshop supporting our Māori Myths & Legends month of October, create a protective talisman used to protect people from nightmares and bad dreams. Used for young children to hang above their beds, dreamcatchers act like a spider's web, trapping bad dreams while allowing the good ones to filter down through the feathers. In the sun's light the bad dreams are extinguished and only the good dreams remain.

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!
