Yesterday we made use of the sun and ventured out to Wellington Gardens (the Botanic Garden) to have a picnic. Lovely to have a big group and enjoy some Kai with the Ducks. If any participants have photos from the trip they would like to share please feel welcome to leave them in the comments :-) Next weekend Mix is taking part in the Lower Hutt Art Trail which is a great opportunity to meet Rachel our Creative spaces coordinator and one of our Brilliant art tutors Benny as well as seeing where Mix Artists create magic. Watch this space for more details
