You are invited to our community planting day of the Rongoā Garden.

9.00am - 11.30am, Sat 8th  August 2020

Meet at the Main Gates Car Park, Te Mata Peak Road

''When we plant trees, we are giving healing to our mother, papatūānuku– connecting, tending, restoring.''

It's an exciting time for Te Mata Park. The Park Trust have ambitious plans to plant nearly 60,000 native trees over the next 3 years across two areas of the Park.

The Rongoā Garden will be located adjacent to the Main Gates Car Park in the recently acquired new block of land.

This will be an easily accessible garden that visitors will be able to walk through and learn about plants used traditionally as rongoā.  With an ever-growing interest in rongoā Māori throughout the rohe, such an accessible resource will be an asset to the community.

If you wish to join the Rongoā Garden Volunteer Planting Day, please confirm your

attendance to Sara on sara@tematapark.co.nz, before Thursday 30 July.

Thank you for your support.

All welcome, but we do ask that you please RSVP your attendance. Please bring a spade, gloves, appropriate footwear, a bottle of water and some snacks.

Tamariki are welcome.
