Exploring the Waipāhīhī Botanical Gardens with Country Kidz

Written by Kim Manunui

Country Kidz arrived to the Waipāhīhī Botanical Gardens full of energy and excitement. They learned about how the plants can provide for our lives in so many different ways. It provides fresh vegetables without the need of refrigeration with plants like kōwaowao. Electricity isn’t needed if you have silver ferns lighting your path. The largest plaster ever can be found within the rimu tree, as it can help stop bleeding. Clothes, houses, baskets, and many more things can be provided from harakeke and tī kōuka. We are so grateful for a place like the Waipāhīhī Botanical Gardens to provide a place for the youngest of our community to explore and understand these concepts.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
