Kowhai Grove
Kōwhai Grove is a collaborative
light-based installation by artist
Bobbie Gray in which thousands
of Kōwhai flowers made from
single-use plastic bottles will
illuminate Grey Street Arcade.
Get involved
A reimagining of a public space, to embrace and connect with its natural environment. Kowhai Grove is as an opportunity to create a welcoming and engaging space for local communities and visitors to downtown Tauranga.
The work will slowly take over Grey Street arcade, a place that ebbs and flows, where people come and go, meet, and gather as locals go about their day to day. Over time, this space will become an active artwork; an endless performance in which everyone participates as they walk along.
