Urban Farm and Composting Project

4 A Better City

We are excited to be able to offer the residents of Upper Hutt two amazing new services that are good for our health and the environment - Mahinga Kai Gardens and Mahinga Kai Composting

1. Several gardens around the city, all producing nutrient rich, naturally fertilised spray-free vegetables. Initially Upper Hutt residents can purchase these vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Support a local farmer and a local family.
2. A Composting Program where we collect kitchen green waste from homes or businesses.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.
