• Artist Toni Mosley will be drawing, screen printing and printing during the summer as well as running two free drawing workshops for kids and adults. At the end of the residency she will exhibit her artworks alongside the objects from the village that have inspired her.
   
• A free children's adventure trail is the perfect escape for curious children. Discover the food, plants and knowledge that Māori and early settlers would have used. Finish the trail to discover something magical at the bottom of the garden.
