Giant inflatable cacti sprout in Hastings' Civic Square
From tomorrow, six giant inflatable cacti will have sprouted up in Hastings' Civic Square as part of a "Cactus Garden" installation.
Visitors to the square two years ago will recall giant inflatable “Shrooms” also popped up.
Both installations have been brought to Hastings by Vesica Aotearoa and designed by the Sydney-based Amigo and Amigo team.
Council’s city centre activation officer Andrea Taffe says they are excited to be featuring more of its creations over the coming three weeks.
The "joyful" installation will be lit up at night.
“We invite the community to come down and immerse themselves in the fun and joyful garden full of vibrant colours and shapes - a character-filled cactus forest.
“These two to six metre high inflatables come alive at night creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to play and explore these magical works, so be sure to stop by next time you are in town.”
This installation is funded from Council’s City Centre Activation Fund and will be in place from October 21 to November 2.
