Moai are huge statues carved from stone over seven hundred years ago on the Polynesian ‘Easter Island’. We’ll be using the figures in the Hackney Peace Carnival Mural and the carved ‘gargoyles’ in the Garden as inspiration for our own miniature statues and heads made out of ‘dough’. They will be baked in the garden’s clay oven so we will also bake some bread for tasting too.
The Garden will be open all over the Easter weekend, including Friday 29 March and Monday 1 April, 11am-5pm.
On Sunday from 2-4pm, children can search for hidden chocolate treasures in among the trees and spring flowers before listening to enchanting tales of March hares and magical eggs with Sonia Caller, “Storyteller from the Magic Tree”. There will be two story-telling sessions – 2.30pm and then again at 3.30pm – taking place in the Pineapple House, with cosy beanbags to snuggle up in, so no need to worry if it’s cold outside.
The Easter Egg hunt is FREE – but donations are appreciated
