Matariki signifies our connection to the environment. This is a big celebration time for us at Flagstaff Community Church.”

The flax was very kindly donated by YouthGrow, part of Presbyterian Support Otago. YouthGrow have a  wide range of plants and natives for sale, grown for our Dunedin climate.
