Adult groups
Exploring Highwic's garden.expand/collapse
For adults, university and personal groups including English as a second language students, Highwic provides an extra dimension to the New Zealand way of life and a window to our colonial heritage. The authentic examples of household technology before electricity open many conversational opportunities.
