Auckland: North Shore Trip-Paa harakeke

Meet at 10am at the end of Merrill Place, off Eskdale Rd, Birkdale, for a tour of an area which is specifically used for growing flax. Judy te Hiwi will take us around the site to show us the flax they are growing and into the bush to see some of the native plants they use and then there will be a demonstration of weaving. Probably no more than 2 hours. Bring insect repellant, camera, lunch and a drink. Please book with Liz Anstey 480 1545 or lizanstey@hotmail.com
