It's springtime at Howick Historical Village and the gardens are full of life! Come along this Live Day to learn more about the natural world - plants, insects and our feathered friends.

Explore the heritage gardens on a nature trail created by our Heritage Gardener, Luke Southern. Learn all about Aotearoa’s unique native flora and introduced species as well as animals and our agricultural past.

Meet the Village beekeeper Sara Russ (a.k.a The Bee Lady) and get up close & personal with our buzzy garden pollinators in an observational hive at 1 pm. Feed the chooks, make a wildflower seed bomb or pot a sunflower from seed to enjoy its bright blooms this summer!

Step back in time - churn butter, make a beeswax candle, or try hand-crank sewing or rag rugging. Discover the art of bookbinding with members of the Association of Book Crafts. See the blacksmith at work in the forge and taste fresh baking, hot from the coal range in Puhi Nui Homestead. Visit the sweet shop filled with old-fashioned lollies and fudge!

With craft activities, outdoor games and performances - Morris dancing at 10:30 am & 11:30 am and bagpipe band at noon - there will be lots of fun for everyone! Have brunch or lunch at Homestead Café and make a day of it.

Admission: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, family $46. Children under 5, members & annual pass holders - free entry.

Our family at the Pacific Kids' Learning Digital Showcase at Hoyts Cinemas Sylvia Park 🎥🍿🎞️

Thursday July 18th's showcase was the official launch of 35 specially curated digital stories plus 30 Pacific animated songs, demonstrating to our communities the exciting opportunities that the digital space provides to keep our histories, languages and cultures thriving into the future. A beautiful selection of 2D and 3D children's animations was woven together into a multilingual film, telling our Pasifika stories on the big screen. The collection showcased was co-created by PKL alongside local students, teachers, parents, community knowledge holders, elders and digital creatives.

Congratulations Evo Leota, Theresa Tupuola-Sorenson & Tatiana Marich and their amazing team of animators Elizabeth Kumaran (Liz), Herman Aviu, Carmel Adam, Tom Greentree for yet another job well done for the year and an awesome and successful showcase 👏🏽🙌🏽🎉
