Matariki: Arts, Crafts, Films, and Talks
Howick Historical Village is honouring Matariki through a kōrero, spoken word reading and short film screening from Indigenous Māori and Pacific storytellers and filmmakers in Tāmaki Makaurau.
Join us in Puhi Nui parlour on Friday 28 June 2024 from 12:30pm - 1:30pm to listen to poems from published spoken word poet Ivy Lyden-Hancy and watch the compelling short films by South Auckland raised filmmaker Trina Lealavaa-Ama.
You can also head down to Pakuranga School house to make your own Matariki-inspired arts and crafts or explore the Village using our Matariki themed trail booklets.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
