The garden has been a place where we can meet new people, learn new skills and enjoy watching our crops grow. It is a place where we can plant, grow and share our veges with our whanau. You don’t have to be an expert to be involved; at the garden everyone is welcome.
Naa taau rourou, naa taaku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.
With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.
The vegetable garden this year has been the most productive ever. Thanks to all the hard work, kind weather and our improved water collection and irrigation.
We have been harvesting scallopini, cucumbers, beans, heritage tomatoes, cabbages and silver beet. Soon we will be harvesting our main crop of Màori potatoes and self-sown pumpkins.
