Since World War I, poppies have been a symbol of remembrance as they flourished in the soil churned up by the fighting and shelling on the Western Front.

Soala Wilson has been busy organising the making of 10 thousand felt poppies in Palmerston North.

Soala talks to Mihi about the logistics behind such a precious undertaking.
