The ANZAC Poppy Tree project 2017
Our local Community Houses are working with The Waikato District Council Placemaking team to create an ANZAC yarn bombing project throughout the district.
The ANZAC Poppy Tree project 2017 will see each community identify a tree that’s trunk can be covered in knitted poppies. We are looking for knitters and crocheters to join forces and create poppies to cover the trunks of trees for this year’s ANZAC celebrations.
Volunteers can drop off knitted or crocheted red poppies to various local drop off points: Te Kauwhata DISC, Friendship House Huntly, Ngaruawahia Community House and more. We need as many poppies as possible by the end of March.
To participate in this awesome district wide project, please contact – Lianne van den Bemd (WDC)07 8248633, Betty Connolly (WDC) 07 8248633, Vanessa Rice or Anne Ramsay (Ngaruawahia Community House) 07 8248340, Victoria Kemp(Huntly Friendship House) 07 8287559, Jo Mako (Te Kauwhata DISC) 07 8264303.
For those who are unsure of what yarn bombing is, here is a definition for you: yarn bombing is type of street art that covers a tree or statue in yarn, the yarn can be knitted or crocheted.
