Taranaki kids are encouraged to grab their gumboots and visit Hollard Gardens during the school holidays.
Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) event facilitator Zoe Shand says the gumboot walk is one of many events planned for the school holidays by TRC.
While this is the first time the event is coming to the garden, gumboot-clad children have explored New Plymouth’s Pukeiti Gardens as part of the kids’ gumboot walk in the past.
“It’s been quite popular there, so we thought we’d organise an event in Kaponga for local children.”
She suggests children wear raincoats, as the event will happen rain, hail or shine.
