100 Mangere families who are keen to start backyard gardens are wanted to take part in the upcoming 'My Backyard Garden Project Mangere Challenge'. Families must live in the Mangere area and commit to attending workshops on 9 and 10 September where they'll build raised garden beds from old pallets, and learn about composting, lasagne gardening, Maramataka (gardening by the moon), seed raising, seedling planting and how to use their produce. The project is free and participants will receive their own raised garden bed, compost bin and support to get them growing.
To register your backyard, or to volunteer your time or resources, please contact: Brent Mags 021 029 10004, Therese Mangos 021 905 961 or Valerie Teraitua 027 2561472
The project is supported by:
Love Food Hate Waste, Pacific Vision Aotearoa, Compost Collective, Te Puna Kokiri, The Southern Initiative, Healthy Families Manukau, Papatuanuku Kokiri Marae
Don't forget to put your new red-lidded rubbish bins out for collection this week- no more rubbish bags!
Here's another chance to learn how to reduce waste at your place.
24 August, 10.30, Mangere Town Centre Library.
Come on down to CIDANZ (283-289 Kirkbride Rd, Mangere) on Sat 26 August, 11am-2pm for good times, food and music, and find out more about reducing waste at home and starting a backyard garden. Bring in your old plastic bottles for cash and your bike for repairs...
