Transforming spaces at Children's Corner

Written By Kim Manunui

In less than a year, Kids Greening Taupō helped Children’s Corner transform a neglected strip of land behind their building into their own “Sanctuary”.

The vision was to create an inviting space for native birds, bugs, lizards, and children to come together. The journey started by turning neglected bins into working compost bins, trimming back over grown plants to provide space to explore and repurposing discarded material into useful items. The children planted with Kids Greening Taupō areas to encourage lizards to roam and bees and other pollinators to fly around.

By adding a gate to the area in term 4 not only provided security, but a sense of enchantment. When the children enter through, they emerge into their own hidden sanctuary in the middle of town. A place filled with unknown treasure and adventures waiting to be had.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
