Description

This incredible plant is one of Aotearoa’s most important medicinal plants, as well as being one of the most delicious! (BBQ rub anyone?)

This pack has been assembled to celebrate this amazingly unique native tree. If you’re lucky enough to be teaching or learning in a whanau group/syndicate team/pod or hub which bears its name, then you’re in for a treat.
