Ngā mihi

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Rānui Brightwell whānau for generously opening their whenua and allowing us to be part of this mahi.

We also acknowledge and thank our partners and supporters — Cabbage Tree Flat and Horizon Farming, Plant Hawke’s Bay, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, and Sustainable Hawke’s Bay — for helping make this day possible.

Bring your whānau, your friends, or come along solo — everyone is welcome. Whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time planting, your presence and contribution matter.

We look forward to seeing you there!
