At the end of August, Coastal View residents and staff braved the rain to take part in the special planting of a pōhutukawa tree. Despite the weather, the moment was filled with warmth and meaning. Just as the tree’s roots will grow deeper and its branches spread wider, so too will the connections, friendships, and shared experiences that continue to flourish at Coastal View. 🌺
The pōhutukawa stands as a symbol of strength, resilience, and the enduring beauty of Aotearoa’s coastline. A plaque was placed beside the tree, inscribed with the whakataukī: “He aroha whakatō, he aroha p**a mai” — If kindness is sown, then kindness you shall receive.
