Rob Small has kindly agreed to show us the the new nursery development at Pourewa which was completed in June 2020. The activities on-site will continue to develop and offer an ongoing legacy in terms of the protection and development of the Tāmaki plant collection, as well as the development of a seed bank of Tāmaki species. These collections help support Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei in their role as a key educator, carrier and guardian of knowledge and leader for research around kaitiakitanga, traditional use and practices.

Future development of māra kai and māra rongoā plantings will form a garden which interfaces with the public, as part of the Tāmaki plant collection and as a physical site for hands on education and research. Aligned with this, there will be a dedicated space for rongoā preparation.

Emma Lewisham will share the success story of her business which she founded in 2020 and has become an international success story and is now sold in 33 countries globally via emmalewisham.com, as well as via a network of New Zealand retailers to make a meaningful difference in the beauty industry.

She started with the intention of “setting a new standard in skincare: proving that luxurious, high performing skincare doesn’t have to come at a trade-off to women’s health or the planet.” 

With this in mind, Emma Lewisham products are clean and natural, and, as the reviews suggest, they also deliver outstanding results. “To us, achieving a product that is 100% clean and highly efficacious is the absolute pinnacle in skincare and rarely have both been achieved at the same time”.

And to achieve these results, the brand invests in highly innovative and high-tech ingredients such as stem cell and neuropeptide technology from plants. “Where most mega-brands look to pull back manufacturing costs, we focus on quality and efficacy first, and cost last”, says Emma.

This strategy has paid off for Emma, who spent three years formulating her brand.
