This activity connects tamariki to our current Slow Burn | Ahi Tāmau exhibition in Toi Art, which includes some photographs of native plant species of Aotearoa.
Tamariki can view works in the exhibition such as The Mother, Rue (Ruta sp.) by Anne Shelton, which features a kawakawa plant arrangement inspired by the ancient techniques of Ikibana (Japanese floral arrangement).
