Wairarapa: Apr 27th 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
A Toru Trail Event: Discover how we can transform landscapes, how we can create places in nature where we feel we've come home. Nature starts to respond when we allow it to regenerate, it starts to support us when we nurture certain healing plants and trees.
The next event in our monthly series of events called the Toru Trail, find out more about our Toru Trail events here.
