Spring has sprung at the Howick Historical Village! Come along this Live Day to experience the gardens filled with colour and busy bees 🐝

As part of Bee Aware Month, learn about the vital role of bees and other pollinators and how to create eco-friendly green spaces for them to thrive. Find hidden emblems crafted in wood, in an Eco Discovery Trail created by our heritage gardener Luke Southern. Meet our bees in a talk with the beekeeper Corban at 1:30pm.
The council’s Compost Collective will also be on site, presenting the rundown on traditional composting, worm farming and bokashi in a free 2-hour workshop at 10am.

Costumed villagers will be demonstrating tasks in interactive activities all day. See the blacksmith in the forge, churn cream into butter, attend a Victorian school lesson or make candles! The coal range in the Puhi Nui homestead will be fired up, with something tasty on the stovetop. The old-fashioned sweet shop will be open, selling lollies, fudge, and other treats.

With games, crafts, and plenty to entertain all ages! Bring a picnic, pick up something from the homely Homestead Café and make a day of it.

Admission prices: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, child under 5, members & annual pass holders - free entry.

Register for the compost workshop at compostcollective.org.nz.... Registered participants receive $40 off a composting system of their choice.
