Flowers From Felix

Flowers From Felix A volunteer group who grow flowers at Meadowbank's Purewa Cemetery, Auckland, NZ Flowers from Felix is a giant community flower garden at Purewa Cemetery.

It began as a guerilla planting exercise to help with grief around losing my son Felix. As the flowers began to die I packaged up the seeds and gave them away to anyone who wanted to plant a flower garden. I have sent flower seeds to bereaved mothers as far as Niagara Falls in Canada and Sussex in England. Watching the flowers grow and die and reseed and grow again has helped me with my own grief

journey and I want to make that experience available to anyone who wants to grow flowers. As the garden grew, donations of plants and seeds, and coffee arrived and many people have joined me to create a place of beauty. Together we have brought life to the cemetery.

Before the rain Sylvia James and Miriam Dunningham got out the power tools to create hedges from our overgrown rosemary bushes that Sylvia propagated a while back. Sylvia made some rosemary oil from the leaves and there was a mountain of cuttings that mostly ended up under the hedgerows, thanks Cherie McCarthy for the gloves that continue to be appreciated 🙏🥰

Art in the flowers! Levi Hawken installed a beautiful memorial sculpture and Sam and his dad cleared up the garden created by Dee McQuillan - Bayleys Real Estate to frame the Goldie tomb. And we have sunflowers in winter as the Mexican sunflower tree lights up the cemetery 🌻 🌻🌻
