From small suburban gardens to large forest and streamside areas, I use a chemical-free methodology of restorative weed management based on careful identification of plants, ecological assessment of landform, fauna, soil, and water flow, and 35 years of observation and experience.
Watch beauty emerge from an eyesore, through knowledgeable hand weeding, converting weed plant material to free compost, forming fertile seed beds and low-impact paths for the natural generation and protection of diverse healthy native plant communities.

In celebration of the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, the Oriental Brush Calligraphers mainly from Korea are holding their exhibition at MAC this year.
MAIN GALLERY: Auckland Calligraphers' group, Yeon Hyang Hoe, proudly display their 19th exhibition of brush artworks to welcome the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, 2023. Yeon Hyang Hoe aims to promote Korean culture and calligraphy to reach out to the wider community in Aotearoa. During this annual, much-anticipated display, gallery visitors can use traditional materials to write inspirational phrases or poems.
HEWSON GALLERY: Gallery visitors will have the opportunity to view a special display of rare decorative Korean Calligraphy folding walls from a personal collection belonging to well-respected Korean Calligraphy tutor Seung-jae Yu. Some of these scrolls date back to the 19th century and provide a glimpse of the clash between conservatism and the enlightenment group facing the challenging social, political and cultural wave from the West.
You are welcome to come and meet the artists at the opening event on 28 Jan at 2:00pm.
