Julie and Jonathan call their Bed and Breakfast Ribbonwood Retreat after the Ribbonwood tree that grows near their home. Once common these trees are now in decline. We have planted Ribbonwoods and many other trees to attract native birds back to our garden. Maori Proverb: If you cut the heart of the flax bush, where will the bellbird sing?

| Interpretation panels and a wheel to hear the different bird songs |
