Comet Project Space presents Enchanted Garden: Mangere Edition - a magical display of 500 fluorescent flowers, is coming to Mangere Bridge Village for one night only.

On Saturday August 28 Naomi and Bill Kirk Park will be transformed into a garden of earthly delights. With the mystical sound of handpans by Alive Metal reverberating, visitors can wander through the immersive light-art installation, and view hundreds of vibrantly coloured, unique blooms. Grab a bite to eat from the food trucks, relax on the beanbags and as the sun sets, watch the flowers come to life and light up the night.

Brought to you by Comet Project Space, Inflorescence is a collaborative light-based installation showcasing the potential of plastic as a material for making art. Over 1,000 plastic bottles have been meticulously spliced together by a collective of artists, creating an otherworldly environment that is industrial yet natural. Each of the plastic elements are infused with the history of a previous use and place, encouraging reflection on the abundance of these castaway materials and how they impact our natural environment.

Generously supported by Mangere Bridge Business Association
