Step inside a world of imagination as we unveil the Kitchen Garden Shed β Hamilton Gardensβ newest creative installation β on Saturday 28 February, 10amβ11am, during the Hamilton Arts Festival.
Created by Hamilton artist and ceramist Wilhelmiina Drummond, (https://wilhelmiina.art/) the Garden Shed opens a doorway into the whimsical realm of the Gardens Keeper and the tiny folk who call the shed home.
Families can join us for a special ribbonβcutting ceremony and a warm community welcome as this enchanting new space is revealed for the very first time.
Storytelling With the Artist
Wilhelmiina will read The Garden Shed: Magical Meetings, the charming tale that inspired the artwork β featuring Augus, Linnea, fairy cottages, treehouses, glowing suitcases, and wee surprises hidden throughout the shed. Itβs a story designed to spark curiosity and encourage visitors to look a little closer.
Activities for Tamariki
Hamilton City Libraries will host free activities for tamariki aged six and under, helping young explorers connect with themes of nature, creativity, and imaginative play.
Make a Morning of It
After the unveiling, stay on for Dr Hubbleβs Brilliant Bubbles show (separate ticket required) at 11am and continue the fun as part of the Hamilton Arts Festival.
