An introduction to the Interwoven project by Te Kākano- weave your own harakeke plant guard

Since late last year, our friends at Te Kākano have been developing and running free workshops for the community, teaching folk how to weave a plant guard using harakeke.

The Interwoven Project teaches people how to respectfully harvest and work with harakeke (flax) according to tikanga, in making a beautiful plant guard for native plants. As Te Kākano say, the project is “…about weaving together people, culture and our environment”.

They have been incredibly popular around town, and a hot ticket to get your hands on.

We’re proud to be hosting Te Kākano for one of their Interwoven workshops at Bullock Creek wetlands on Thursday 22nd May from 12pm-2pm. Attendance is free but registration is required as there is a maximum of 20 participants for the workshop.
