Community Planting Day
Join us for our fourth annual planting day on Saturday 24 August 8.30-11.30am, Cross Country Drain, Cnr Bill Hercock Street & Harold Holt Ave, Pirimai, Napier.
If you’ve taken a wander along the Cross Country Drain, you will have seen what can be achieved when a community works together. With a combined total of 10,000+ natives planted at our planting days, we need your help.
We have around 3000 natives to plant this year. We will be focussing on the south side of the Cross Country Drain and the area along the expressway.
Start with a briefing at 8.30am, planting from 9am.
Finishing with a sausage sizzle on the BBQ at approximately 11am, once all the plants are in the ground.
This planting day is suited to people of all ages and abilities. Bring along gardening gloves, a spade and a water bottle.
We can’t wait to see you there!

Incinerator
Hi does anyone have a garden incinerator they no longer need or would like to sell/give away? I need to burn some accounts/documents - or if anyone has any idea how to get rid of them apart from public recycling let me know - Thanks
Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
