It’s 100 years since Emilia Maude Nixon arrived in Howick and established the Tainui Garden of Memories in the spirit of Kotahitanga (unity), with the support of Ngāi Tai kaumātua.
To celebrate this milestone, Uxbridge Arts and Culture have an exhibition running until June 21.
The entrance to the Garden is off Uxbridge Road beside the Uxbridge Theatre.
In the middle of Howick we have a tranquil oasis with beautiful flowers, a stream, and native bush. It’s well worth a visit.
Enjoy a walk, grab a coffee at the Uxbridge Café and view the exhibition.
The Howick Village Association is holding a Mid Winter Business Celebration event for our members in late June.
If you’ve had great service, or have a reason you think we should acknowledge, spotlighting the great work of any of our Village businesses, please let us know.
