A message from Aunty Hanui's Mokopuna(Grandkids):
Our Nanna's book The Kūmara Vine has been 3 years in the making! The Kūmara Vine is a memoir of our Nanny Hanui's lifelong journey & passion for horticulture, especially the Kūmara. Nan share's stories from her childhood days learning from her Father & Mother thru to the establishment of the Mara Kai at Waipatu Marae which is known now as Aunty's Garden.
Aunty's Garden has had a profound impact on the community. Nan's service has been recognised nationally & internationally. On the 9th March 2024 saw hundreds gather together for Nanny Hanui's book launch. She was overwhelmed by the support, we are very proud of our Nanna & her service to the community. We know you will enjoy the pages of her book "The Kūmara Vine" and will learn from the best Kūmara grower in the world -Our Nan!
