Ikebana for Beginners starts Next Week!

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

🌸 Artistry of Flowers: Ikebana for Beginners
➡️ Starts Monday 26 July

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. It is seen as more than simply putting flowers in a container, but a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature.

Our five-week Ikebana course will introduce you to traditional and innovative Japanese flower arrangements of the Sogetsu School. Work with nature in an individual and imaginative form through colour, line and texture.

For more information and to enrol, visit our website at villagesquare.org.nz/enrol or contact Olivia at community@villagesquare.org.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler
