Artist in Residence - Wellington Botanic Garden

Mazz from Kelburn

The Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden have great pleasure in welcoming our inaugural Artist in Residence, Hannah Schickdanz to the Wellington Botanic Garden.

Hannah is a fine artist, illustrator and designer who will be resident in the Treehouse between 1 Feb to 1 April 10.30—3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

She says, “I am interested in the meanings humans read into images. My paintings - whether still life or figurative - play with a make-believe mythology. Memories, objects, and stories handed down from parents and grandparents — or handed up from my children — feature alongside woven and collected natural materials foraged during half-remembered summer holidays”.

The sights and smells of nature during summer and autumn always make her creative sap rise. She says “What a treat to be working in the Gardens amongst such a well of inspiration at this time of year!"

Hannah is looking forward to meeting you at the Treehouse. All art work is for sale with a portion of the sale going towards various Friends projects.

Art classes will also be available – watch this space for further details

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
