This is a unique opportunity to dig in with Project Crimson, the Ata Rangi team, Ruth Pretty, Clive Paton and special guest Rudd Kleinpaste (aka world renowned entemologist 'Bugman') and personally help to restore the stunning crimson blooms of rātā that once graced the hills encircling Wellington.
You'll plant four of your very own name-tagged northern rātā trees for future generations to enjoy, and if this sounds way too hard Clive and Rudd will happily help you out. Fuel up on a delicious gourmet Ruth Pretty winter picnic, with hot soup and Ata Rangi wines to match. They'll be plenty of spades available, but bring your own if you can. BYO gumboots!
Price Includes:
Superb Ruth Pretty gourmet picnic, complete with a selection of Ata Rangi wines
Four rātā trees and mulch to protect them
A goody bag with Project Crimson rātā tree and gift from Ata Rangi Vineyard
