The Kahui is growing harakeke for weaving and bringing along appropriate kawa to manage the reserve for the Board. “It’s a great opportunity to see what can be achieved through true partnership, using old techniques and fostering use of the park by our community. I hope it can become a model for other parks in Auckland” says Margi Watson of the Albert-Eden Local.
