We are creating a Rongoa garden (Maori medicinal herbs) on the banks of the stream behind The Herb Shack.
It will be a valuable educational resource for our community and is dedicated to peace. We are naming the garden; Te Mara Mareno - The Peaceful Garden.
An official opening of our Rongoa garden will be held at 4pm at The Herb Shack on International Peace Day Monday 21st September 2009, followed by Peace cake and tea. We hope you can make it to both events....

Comments
Te Mara Rongoa Marino - we decided to put Rongoa in the name due to Aunty Keita Murray deciding that thats the name... if you just change the 'e' to an 'i' in marino that will do - nice work who ever wrote this up...
