About this Event
What would our homes and gardens look like if we treated water as the taonga that it is? Water supports all life on our planet, but the way our homes and gardens are designed means we often don’t make the most of it.
In the face of changing weather patterns and the cost-of-living crisis, find out what you can do save money on your water bills, make your home and garden more resilient to drought and heavy rain, and become part of the community building climate resilience at home.
Join us for inspirational ideas to make a positive impact at home or in your community.
