Kōrero & Kaputī: POSTPONED

Huia Lodge served tea to thirsty park visitors from 1903 to 1909 when tea in the park became so popular a dedicated kiosk was built next door.

To celebrate 120 years of kōrero and kaputī (cups of tea) at Cornwall Park we are delighted to be joined by Helen Paul-Smith (Tapuika/Ngaī Te Rangi) Co-Founder of ŌKU New Zealand. In this informal talk, delve into a sensory world exploring the flavours, smells and remarkable healing properties of Aotearoa’s native plants. Many of these rākau (plants) have a rich history of traditional use, helping to maintain ora (well-being).

The session is suitable for ages 12+ and ends with a Q&A and the chance to sample ŌKU tea.

Registration is essential and numbers are limited. Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements.
