Māra Rongoā Weeding Day
Languages: English, Te Reo Māori
Come together and join us for a relaxed, meaningful day connecting with whenua, mātauranga, and each other. We’ll begin by grounding ourselves in kōrero about the history of Te Pourewa. This sets the tone for the day and helps us understand the whenua we’re caring for.
From there, we’ll move into weeding the māra rongoā. This is hands-on, get-your-hands-dirty mahi, working together to care for the rongoā plants and the spaces that support them. Along the way there’ll be kōrero, shared knowledge, and plenty of laughs—learning by doing, side by side.
The day is easygoing and flexible. Feel free to bring anyone you wish, stay for as long as you like and leave when you need to. Whether you’re there for the history, the mahi, the kōrero, or just to enjoy being outside and having fun, you’re welcome exactly as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!
