We are teaming up with the phenomenal chefs at Everybody Eats to provide a special dinner experience entirely from locally grown or salvaged food. The meal will feature produce harvested that very day from Tāmaki Urban Market Garden and prepared by top-class professional chef, Tristan from Everybody Eats.
Tāmaki Urban Market Garden has been operating for two years, producing local regeneratively grown kai and sharing our love of soil and our environment with our local community. We need your support to keep going with this work - because we know it's important to our community and the planet!
We'll be sharing a short film that gives more insight into why and how we do what we do, and highlighting the produce we are already growing with three delicious courses of scrumptious gourmet food.
Expect an evening of community connection, deliciousness, and hope for the future of food in Glen Innes and Eastern Bays suburbs.
Tickets can be purchased here events.humanitix.com...
Venue to be confirmed at one of the amazing EveryBody eats venues in either Glen Innes or Onehunga.
We would love for you to join us!

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori. Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
